Abstract

Natural-disaster relief management succeeds or fails on the basis of the managers‘
ability to gather, evaluate, and act on decentralized, informal knowledge, local needs and
changing circumstances.
The author of this paper wants to present the security between theory, politics and
practicefrom lessons learned so far with the case of the flooded area and landslide
happened in Tetovo. Relief effort suggests that commercial and non-profit networks are
inherently suited for grappling with the ―knowledge problem‖, so if we are aware that
disasters obtain protracted and long-lasting characteristics we should put more attention on
implementation the rules of law and security challenges. The regulation is getting better
and betterand it is necessary to find the direction for their ongoing or cooperation in all
level.
This approach is seen as multi-disciplinary process, understanding of the nature and extent
and impacts of the risks a community or society is facing, which are associated with
unanticipated events and the vulnerability of the exposed community.
Therefore, the author put attention on the importance of using knowledge as an integral
part of security disaster management and its implementation should involve and require
close collaboration among all the sectors of society, because the education of such
processes is an important aspect of good governance.
The goal of a disaster management is to provide objective and transparent information for
making decisions on countermeasures to reduce disaster risk.
