History & geography

History

The volunteer fire department DVD Gerovo was founded in 1926, and is today part of the VZ grada Čabra. Its current commander is Robert Pajnić. It was liquidated on 20 January 1939. The local chapter of the HPS was HPD "Jelenc", which had very low activity for a time until its reconstitution in 1936 under the Josip Turk presidency. In 1937, it had 23 members who participated in expeditions to Risnjak and the source of the Kupa. Following the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 collapse, SFR Yugoslav communist authorities accepted refugees from the Hungarian People's Republic, settling them to Gerovo, Osijek, Mataruška Banja, and Niška Banja. A total of 1.735 Hungarian refugees were settled in the village. freezing rain fell on Gorski Kotar, glazing the entire region. It wrecked roofs, power lines an forests, causing power loss for about 14,000 households in Gorski Kotar, or about 80% of its population. It took about 10 days to restore essential infrastructure to the region, and within months electricity was back in most of its former range, but at a cost of about 84.4 million HRK to HEP. At the time it was the largest peacetime damage since its Secession from Yugoslavia, even without counting the forestry losses. The Šumarija Gerovo lost 43% of its wood mass. Clearing blocked forestry roads and forest paths would take years, and thanks to the declining population some were never cleared.
