This paper aims to analyze, especially in terms of space,
the flood phenomenon in Cernăteşti locality, on May 29, 2012. In the
context of high intensity torrential rains over a short period of time, in
this period occurred flash-floods of high intensity on Slănic river,
producing catastrophic floods in Cernăteşti locality. Thus, for a rigorous
analysis of spatial occurrence of these hydrological risk phenomena,
were used detailed cartographic materials, such as the 1:5000
topographic plans overlapped to the analyzed territory. Also, we
analyzed the synoptic conditions directly responsible for the extent of
the flooding process, which resulted in disastrous effects on the socio- economic component. The results certified that, due to the synergy
between torrential rainfall and the local morphometry, 60 ha of the
Slănic flood plain sector was flooded in the area of Cernăteşti locality, with more than 20 buildings and almost 500 m of the local accessiblity
infrastucture damaged.
