The comprehensive assessment of dangerous hydrometeorological events (heavy rain, wind, hail, thunderstorm, drought flood, landslide) using ground and satellite observation for disaster risk reduction and climate resilience to implement Nature Based Solutions will be realized for 1960-2020 in Georgia. The hydrometeorological archieve of the Institutes of Hydrometeorology and National Environmental Agency and Satellite observations include vegetation indices will be used. Based on processed data risk maps will be constructed to identify potential thread areas. Using outputs NBS will be evaluated and applied to selected locations. The project is innovative and combines several scientific fields. It considers collaboration with local governmental bodies and commercial sector.
