: Starting from the increasingly frequent consequences of floods in local communities in Serbia, this
paper aims to examine the level and impact of selected demographic, socio-economic and psychological factors
on the level of social resilience to flood disasters. The research was conducted using a provided questionnaire and
then collected online for 261 respondents during August 2021. The research results show a statistically significant
influence of gender, previous experience, social ties, trust in public institutions and involvement in risk
communication processes on the level of social resilience to flooding disasters. In addition, research has found
that strengthening social resilience requires strengthening social networking, trust and solidarity among members
of the local community. The obtained research results can significantly help all stakeholders formulate strategies,
plans, and initiatives to improve social resilience to the consequences of flood disasters and create preconditions
for building a safe and sustainable environment.
