In his capacity as the chief specialist in the Defence Office of the Ministry of Culture and Art, the author reports on the situation caused by the flood in the south-western part of Poland in July 1997. The area under water totalled 652 communes and about 665 835 hectares. More than 160 000 people were evacuated, and 55 persons perished. The flood also produced enormous losses as regards cultural institutions and historical objects. Over 300 objects, not including movables, were affected; fortunately, the most valuable immovable objects and collections of movables were not damaged. Upon the basis of observations made at the time of the flood, the author presents conclusions concerning current and long-range undertakings, organisation, and changes in legal regulations aiming at minimalising losses of cultural property in cases of similar calamities.
