forest degradation developed because of increased social and energypressure has
resulted in activation of disasters, burdening both the localresidents and the
country’s economy. The government has to pay millions ofGEL annually for
disaster prevention. However, since the efficiency of theconducted measures is
quite low, the scale of the damage inflicted bydisasters increases from year to
year.According to experts, lack of consideration of risk factors in planning
ofnatural resources, primarily of forests is the main drawback of
disastermanagement system.Specifically, National Forestry Agency (NFA) fails to
assess disaster riskswhen arranging forest roads or allocating cutting areas,
which causesdevelopment of landslide and mudflow, processes in the managed
forests.Besides, NFA does not participate in the measures aimed at
disasterprevention. Disaster mitigation measures are only implemented in urban
areasand rather than eradicating the causes of disasters, all resources are
usedon fighting their outcomes.For more information, please visit CENN’s
