The publication examines the current legal framework and institutional arrangements for the disaster risk knowledge component of the multi-hazard early warning system in Georgia to identify gaps and recommend changes to the existing legislation.

The analysis was performed based on the Multi-hazard Early Warning System (WMO MHEWS) checklist developed by the partners of the International Network for Multi-hazard Early Warning Systems. The checklist includes the main criteria and actions to which national governments, community organizations and partners within and across
all sectors can refer when developing or evaluating early warning systems.

The publication was prepared by a team of international experts with support from UNDP, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the governments of Georgia, Sweden and Switzerland.
