The aim of studies was to summarize all available published records of snow avalanche events in the Tatra Mountains in a form of a geodatabase and assess the usefulness of compiled information for analyses of long-term changes in snow avalanches characteristics. The systematic study of various sources from Poland and Slovakia resulted in geodatabase including about 3406 avalanche events, of which 2033 were registered in the Polish and 1373 in the Slovakian parts of the Tatra Mountains. The geodatabase comprises information about location, type and size of the avalanche, time of the event, source of the information as well as information about rescue missions, number of injured and fatalities. The snow avalanches causing the accidents are well documented. The rest of the avalanches were registered only as a result of the researches lasting from one up to maximum 11 winters or sporadic observations. In the Polish part of the High Tatra Mountains most of the avalanches were reported (681 events) in the Białka Valley, especially the Mięguszowieckie Szczyty ridge. In the Slovakian part of the Tatra Mountains most of the records came from the Žiarska Valley (222 events), especially the Tri kopy ridge. Although the records are unsystematic, the collected information can be used, if processed with caution, to analyse the certain aspects of the avalanche activities. The geodatabase was designed and developed in the way that allows future improvements by adding new records, either recent or historical ones.

In this contribution we quantified some natural hazards in the eastern part of Slovak Tatra Mountains (i.e. the High Tatra Mountains, the Belianske Tatra Mountains and the eastern part of the Western Tatra Mountains) as well as the Popradská kotlina and the Podtatranská brázda basins. The paper focuses on the processes of water erosion, snow avalanches and debris flows and other mass-movements processes.
