In the article, there is verified the prevention of the natural disasters’ effects. In the examined area of Poland, preventing the negative consequences of the extreme phenomena is financed from the central budget and from the budgets of local governments (self-governments). Expenses are assisted by the measures from e.g. foreign states, ecological funds, credits and loans. The hypothesis from the beginning of the article is verified positively: there is the co-relation between financing the prevention of natural disaster’s effects and the European Union’s programming periods. Thus, the answer for the research question of the article is: financing the prevention of natural disaster’s effects is related to the European Union’s programming periods.
