Georgia is located in the highly disaster-prone region where natural hazards (floods, earthquakes, landslides, mudflows, heavy rains and storm winds), coupled with significant levels of exposure and vulnerability, have a substantial negative impact on the national economy and increasingly pose threat to human lives.
