Gerovo is a Croatian village in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County. It is connected by the D32 highway.
The NE edge of the karst polje of Gerovo is known as Ponikve because of its dolines.
The volunteer fire department DVD Gerovo was founded in 1926, and is today part of the VZ grada ÃÂabra. Its current commander is Robert PajniÃÂ. 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.
Gerovo was hit by the 2014 Dinaric ice storm. From 31 January to 2 February 2014, while S and SW geostrophic wind dominated, 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 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 à  umarija 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.
