Summary/Abstract: The paper emphasizes the analysis of the source material, mostly reports and telegrams generated on sight during the great floods of the Sava, Kupa, Danube and Drava rivers that affected the wider area of Banal Croatia during March and April of 1895. The behavior of the authoritarian regime of the Croatian viceroy Count Károly Khuen-Héderváry in an emergency situation of natural disaster is put under scrutiny. Main aspects of clerical work and technical staff in the field are described, as well as the behavior of diverse instances of government in resolving problems that have arisen in an emergency situation, such as destruction, famine, migrations and high costs of repair works.
