Georgia:
Nature’s Fury & Resilience

On February 14, 2025, as part of Work Package 2 and under the coordination of UNIBO, our new Guidelines T2.1 – “Defining and Assessing the Impact of Catastrophic Events” were published. These guidelines provide an in-depth analysis of Georgia’s dynamic environment — its unique geography, climatic variability, and hydrogeological challenges that shape the country’s risk landscape.

What do they include?
🔹 Diverse geographies and climates
🔹 Extreme weather and water-related disasters
🔹 Hydrogeological instability
🔹 Consequences of natural disasters
🔹 Response actions and future plans

Our guidelines not only review past events — they also offer a clear path forward. By integrating comprehensive environmental data, international and national standards (including EIA and SEA), and a strong emergency response system (with tools such as the 112 public warning system), Georgia is building a safer and more resilient future.

Why it matters:
The diverse natural challenges faced by Georgia highlight the urgent need for strategic disaster risk reduction. As climate change intensifies these events, our work is more important than ever to protect the lives, culture, and future of this vibrant nation.
