This paper analyses the susceptibility of territory of municipality Čelinac to flash floods using the Flash Flood Potential Index (FFPI). All operations related to calculating the FFPI were conducted in a GIS environment. The research results showed that 38.42% of the territory belongs to the category of low susceptibility to flash floods. The category of moderate susceptibility includes 36.86% of the territory, while 18.77% of the territory is classified as highly susceptible to flash floods. The very high susceptibility to flash floods applies to the area occupying 5.95% of the total territory of the Čelinac municipality. This research can be useful to all subjects involved in natural disaster protection, local government, insurance companies, and the general population.
