EXERCISE “CRNA GORA – 2016” The lead-in scenario
Early warning system
On 21 October 2016 the Institute for Hydrometeorological and Seismological of Montenegro issues an early warning on possible heavy rains in central, south and western parts of the country. This forecast also include basin of the Albanian river Drim which could have the further impact on rising of water level in Skadar Lake.
Affected area
On 25 October 2016 due to heavy rain falls in region of municipality of Niksic where are located two artificial lakes water exceed critical level what cause opening the dam and releasing of high quantity of water. All of that causing floods and flash floods in the basin of rivers of Zeta and Moraca. The flash flood soon engulfed the whole village of Rogami, trapping people inside their houses. It is estimated that the floods, mudslides and landslides, directly or indirectly affected over than 14000 people in several municipalities and districts located in the centre-south of the country. This disaster affecting and displacing thousands of people some victims were reported; infrastructure in flooded area was mostly damaged. The capital Podgorica with District of Golubovci is among the most affected. Additional problem is causing more than double incoming quantity of water from Montenegrin River Moraca and Albanian river Drim into Scadar Lake. Therefore outflow canal of River Bojana could not accept that quantity of water and to take it out into Adriatic Sea. All of this has flooding consequences in several regions such as: Municipal District of Golubovci, village of Virpazar (Municipality of Bar) and village of Rijeka Crnojevica (Old Royal capital Cetinje). Many inhabitants in these regions are isolated in their homes surrounded by water, waiting for immediate evacuation. Thousands of people lost their livelihoods and were evacuated from their homes. Provision of clean water, health and sanitation was one of the main concerns. Across the region, key infrastructure, including bridges and roads as well as educational facilities, were damaged in many affected areas. On other areas downstream is expected worse situation in next coming days. In the district of Golubovci there is possibility to spilling out of red mud from Factory of Aluminum which will affect the civil population and environment from Factory of Aluminum to the mouth of the river of Moraca in the Skadar Lake.
Needs and International assistance Montenegrin authorities through the Ministry of the Interior, Directorate for Emergency Management – Operational Communication Center 112, have requested international assistance from Euro Atlantic Disaster Response Centre (EADRCC). Montenegro requested assistance in terms of: Immediate rescue response-flood rescue using boats (FRB), high-capacity pumping (HCP), CBRN detection and sampling, flood containment (FC), generators, water purification sets, gas heaters and sanitation items and other humanitarian assistance like tents and emergency shelters.

ANNEX 6 AC/98(EAPC)N(2016)0003, MULTI REF
There is urgent need for boats, rescue helicopters and motorboats to evacuate people and to transport water, medicines and food. Land transportation is difficult at the moment, with many roads and bridges damaged or inaccessible. Air transportation is preferable due to several inhabited areas unreachable by road.
Local communications are not entirely reliable, and Montenegrin emergency teams recommend to external ones to deploy communication tools. Monitoring instruments are also needed, in order to scan the area and gain dynamic data.
