A department within Georgia's Ministry of Justice is utilising a small plane to take aerial photographs of the Vere River basin to better analyse the scale of the damage caused in the June 13 flood.
The Georgian Public Registry will carry out the task and a total land area of 200km2 would be surveyed.
The agency noted the photos would significantly contribute to the overall understanding of the disaster, help the team better evaluate the damaged caused and implement an appropriate rehabilitation plan. The photos would also help the team with future natural disaster planning.
The agency said the "strategically important information" received from the aerial photos would be given to all Governmental agencies for further inspection.
"Our project, which foresees shooting a single aerial photograph of the whole country, began in January. We have started preparatory works but the disaster plotted new priorities for us and we decided to react instantly,” said head of Public Registry Papuna Ugrekhelidze.
"With financial support of the Norwegian government, an additional grant was provided and it was decided to shoot aerial photographs of the Vere River basin. The data received will really be information of state importance that will not only be useful for the public registry,” he said.
The aerial photo shoot will be conducted by Ukrainian company Aviation Accounting Centre along with Georgian Public Registry specialists.
Georgia has announced an international tender for a project worth almost 4 million GEL to take an aerial photograph of the country.
