Sažetak (engleski)

The Banovina area was severely damaged by the powerful earthquake that hit the region in
December 2020. The Croatian Army justified the trust of the public and proved to be a highly
efficient and trained organization, able to provide immediate aid to those who need it. It promptly
made its material and human resources available to the survivors. With its capacities, the Croatian
Army can effectively respond to the consequences of such a catastrophe. On the very first day,
250 members of the CAF were deployed to the area, and 350 others followed, together with 400
reserve personnel. Engineer forces began clearing up the streets to ensure mobility and repair
damaged roads. Sixty-four trucks and working machines were used to transport 109 housing
units to people whose homes had been damaged or destroyed. Also, 217 containers were
transported and installed for the temporary accommodation of the civilians. In military facilities,
406 victims of the quake were offered accommodation. Heated tents with 20 beds were set up
at various locations. Unmanned aerial systems were used to map the area and provide footage
of damaged dykes. In synergy with civilian institutions, the Croatian Army mightily and effectively
responded to the consequences of this catastrophe
