In about three years early warning systems will be installed throughout Georgia, enabling the population to receive relevant and timely information in a systematic way prior to disasters in order to make informed decisions and take action.
Georgian Agriculture Minister Levan Davitashvili announced the initiative in Chuberi village of Georgia’s Mestia municipality which was damaged by yesterday’s landslide and consequent flooding.
Davitashvili said that the installation of the early warning system will start this year.
"The Ministry of Environment and Agriculture will start installing early warning stations this year and in about two-three years all of Georgia will be covered by these stations”, said Davitashvili.
