Abstract
The article discusses an approach to the geoenvironmental assessment of the consequences of flooding urban area upon the Pirogov reservoir dam break. Based on the modeling of flooding, the expected specific damage to geosystems of Korolev city was assessed. The input modeling data included the flow velocity, the time factor, the size of the flooded area, etc., as well as the structure of recipients in each of the selected urban geosystems. The values obtained showed the significance of possible disaster in emergency situations, which confirms the necessity of such an assessment when planning cities in order to prevent undesirable geoenvironmental consequences.
