Work continues to monitor natural disasters
Geology
The National Environment Agency continues to work with the support of international donor organizations to improve disaster monitoring.
An international geology expert was in Georgia, who together with the specialists of the National Environment Agency studied 18 landslide areas throughout Georgia. Based on the results of these studies, a modern monitoring system will be installed at 10 sites affected by landslides, which will facilitate the monitoring of natural hazards and ensure the avoidance / mitigation of possible negative consequences caused by natural disasters in the country.
Within the framework of the project, meetings of the Joint Technical Working Group of the United Nations Development Program and the National Environment Agency on modern approaches to threat assessment and modeling were attended by representatives of relevant public agencies, civil society, the private sector and scientific research and academic institutions.
The project is supported by the Green Climate Fund, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and the United Nations Development Program in Georgia (UNDP Georgia). The aim is to reduce the risk of geological disasters, maximizing the protection of the population and infrastructure facilities from natural hazards.
