Public safety and disaster preparedness in Croatia

Overview

In Dubrovnik, local officials and residents are focusing on disaster preparedness and fire prevention. Councilor Viktorija Knežević has called for a formal maritime evacuation protocol, criticizing existing civil protection plans for being too vague. She argued that current descriptions of sea evacuation lack operational details regarding vessel availability, passenger capacities, and command structures, especially given the risk of wildfires severing road access.

In response to summer fire hazards, residents in the Ploča area of Dubrovnik have initiated community cleanups to reduce combustible materials. Meanwhile, in Novigrad, residents are reporting safety risks due to a dilapidated state-owned building that collapsed following severe weather, prompting calls for urgent government intervention.
