Abstract
Floods account for the majority of catastrophic events resulting from hydrometeorological hazards. In September 2023, Greece was confronted with the Daniel flood phenomenon that led to the need to reconstruct Central Greece. Flooding alters the natural balance of the environment and often creates a favorable habitat for the occurrence of infectious diseases.

The probability of occurrence and transmission of these diseases is multiplied due to the adverse living conditions formed by the occurrence of the phenomenon. The obligation of the state to safeguard the lives of citizens makes it necessary to take prevention, preparedness and intervention measures adapted to the profile and needs of society.

Keywords: flood, waterborne diseases, civil protection, Daniel, Greece
