Abstract: Prediction of forest fire dynamics is no easy task, requiring thoughtful examination of many factors involved, such as landscape, vegetation, climate and weather conditions, humidity, urbanization of land, and many others. One of the best approaches to this problem is a computer simulation. In this paper, we describe the thought process and the development of a forest fire simulator that means to address all of those difficulties.

Abstract: Floods were and are continuing to be a great threat to human properties, farms, agriculture, and households. To reduce the flood-related damage, we have to be able to reliably predict the flood dynamics, and the best way to do this is a computer simulation. Such simulational software must take into consideration many factors, such as the landscape qualities, human infrastructure, protective buildings, and more. In this paper, we try to systematize all those factors and create the software that will adhere to those requirements.
