About this project
Description
The project objective is to reduce exposure of Georgia's communities, livelihoods and infrastructure to climate-induced natural hazards through a well-functioning nation-wide multi-hazard early warning system and risk-informed local action. The project will achieve this by nation-wide scaling-up of several projects and initiatives such as of the Rioni Basin flood forecasting and early warning system (FFEWS). The scaling up will be attained by developing and implementing a nation-wide Multi-Hazard Early Warning System (MHEWS), developing and delivering climate information services, implementing community-based risk reduction measures which will reduce exposure of the most vulnerable local communities to climate-induced hazards. The project will address existing gaps/barriers towards establishing an effective functioning, fully-integrated Multi-Hazard Early Warning System
Objectives
Increased resilience and enhanced livelihoods of the most vulnerable people, communities and regions.
