Disaster Resilience Platform established in Georgia

Georgia is highly exposed to a wide range of natural hazards, including droughts, earthquakes, floods, landslides. Disaster risk management (DRM) is a national priority for the government. The country has focused on developing legislative and institutional frameworks for the DRM. The DRM system is governed by the Civil Safety Law, which was established in 2018 and defines emergency response at the national, regional, and local levels.
