Heavy rainfall in the summer have become more frequent, and when they occur over the coastal region, the cumulative hazardous pressure leads to floods, loss of physical life and socio-economic impact. Such is the disaster due to the floods in Tsarevo at the end of summer 2023. The paper contains a conceptual analysis of hydrological and meteorological conditions, land cover and use, and institutional preparedness to deal with dangerous floods. It is prepared on the basis of the data from Copernicus Land Monitoring Service, NCEP Reanalysis, EFAS-EC (European Flood Awareness System), IMERG-NASA (Integrated Multi-Satellite Retrievals for GPM), national hydro-meteorological measurements and CLM model study. The results of the research show that in addition to severe weather conditions, the human factor has contributed to the disaster situation - inadequate information to the population, problems with the dams around Tsarevo, over urbanization, failures in critical infrastructure maintenance, unavailable public information for surface and groundwater monitoring.
