GEO. Legal circumstances of CM in Gronau For each law, we will discuss the most important developments concerning CM and its operative organisations. We will subsequently describe the positions of institutionalised actors, moving from operational CM actors towards their overarching local administrative contexts and describe private sector obligations. It should be noted that the laws analysed heavily rely on previous legal provisions underlying German state organisation. This is especially true with respect to position and boundary rules relative to existing institutions (e.g. ’the La¨ nder’, ’the Bund’, ’the municipalities’, etc.).

GEO. Candidate sites identification Two candidate sites were inspected for joint field work with participants from CERG planned by the project: Tsiv-Gombori ridge (Kakhety region) and Mukhatgveri area (near Tbilisi). The field team consisted from geophysicists (X. Xxxxx Institute of Geophysics and GHHD) and geologists (Ministry of Environment Protection of Georgia). Some Georadar survey was conducted on the objects. The joint expedition is postponed for the year 2015. The Tsiv-Gombori ridge morphostructure with its landslides and mudflows is one of the most stressed regions on the territory of Georgia in regard to geological hazards. Due to the high intensity of these processes all the segment here are either already damaged or in the risk zone. The area of landslide- gravitational and erosional-mudflow hazard risks covers nearly 80-90% of the territory. Landslides and gravitational phenomena take place at all kinds of engineering-geologic formations on the Tsiv-Gombori territory. They directly cause losses for the population and engineering objects and very often play principal role in the transformation of mudflows widely spread in the region. The landslide- gravitational phenomena differ from one another by generation, formation conditions, depth and areal distribution, dynamics and movement mechanisms. The landslides range from very simple, deformation of which do not transgress the aeration zone, to deep landslides of dozens of meters thickness and several thrust planes. According to their formation two main kinds of landslides dominate here:
GEO. It is important to develop the technique of compiling time-dependent maps of landslide/debris flow hazard, as it is established that activation of mass-movements occur only in periods of intensive precipitation and relatively elevated temperatures. Such maps can be considered as medium-range predictions of expected mass-movement activation. Our intention is to use the fuzzy logic approach for assessment of time-dependence of landslide/debris flow hazard. It is known that appearance of mass-movements/slumps depends on precipitations: the higher level of precipitations, the higher risk of slumps. This risk of slumps we suppose to estimate using fuzzy methodologies, in particular, most typical fuzzy expected values. Our approach allows estimating the risk of slumps that depends on the level of precipitations (and other parameters) during the particular periods of time: the linguistic value “risk of slumps” with corresponding fuzzy sets “very high”, “high”, “middle”, “low”, “very low”, etc. are defined (by experts or numerical methods). Then we calculate, using real values, the most typical values of fuzzy sets for these values during a particular periods, say, June (notice, that shorter or longer period can be taken as well). Our results allow saying that this month is extremely risky, very risky, etc. The method can reveal the tendency of appearing slumps in Georgia and it can be used for prognosis in future.
GEO. The project is oriented to analysis of long enough time series of precipitation in 4 countries in order to find retrospectively the meteorological drought periods (i.e. prolonged period with less than average precipitation and high temperature) in order to infer the recurrence rate of droughts. The participants of the project were informed several times on the format of the data needed for analysis, but the meteo-data are obtained only from Algeria. Up to now we have the long enough time series (150 years) of precipitation and temperature in Georgia and 1988-2013 from Algeria. We intend to calculate The Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) or the Xxxxxx Drought Severity Index to measure the duration and intensity of the long-term drought-inducing patterns as well as they persistency/anti-persistency. Drought is a major natural disaster that can have considerable impacts on society, the environment and the economy. In Europe alone, the cost of drought over the past three decades has amounted to over 100 billion Euros. By the end of this century, droughts in Europe are expected to be more frequent and intense due to climate change and increased water use (Forzieri, G. et al Hydrol. Earth Syst. Sci., 18, 85–108, 2014). Long-standing result from global-coupled models has been a projected increase in summer drying in the mid-latitudes in a future, warmer climate, with an associated increased likelihood of drought. Summer dryness is expected to increase in the Mediterranean, Central and Southern Europe during the 21st century, leading to enhanced risk of drought, longer dry spells and stronger soil-moisture deficits. In order to assess drought occurrence it is necessary to have a definition of drought. If the weather pattern lasts a short time (say, a few weeks or a couple months), the drought is considered short-term. But if the weather or atmospheric circulation pattern becomes entrenched and the precipitation deficits last for several months to several years, the drought is considered to be a long-term drought. We intend to calculate widely accepted Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is a probability index that considers only precipitation. The SPI is an index based on the probability of recording a given amount of precipitation, and the probabilities are standardized so that an index of zero indicates the median precipitation amount (half of the historical precipitation amounts are below the median, and half are above the median). The index is negative for...
GEO. The main sources of Kura river pollution are: Kaspi cement plant, Tbilisi (Avchala) glass plant, Tbilisi Aviation Plant, Rustavi Metallurgical Plant, Rustavi Chemical Plant, Rustavi cement plant, Bolnisi Mining Plant et al., which pollute Kura River with heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Fe, Pb) and the chemical compounds (amonium sulfate, caprolactam, cyanide, etc). The largest source of pollution is the main quarry of Madneuli ore deposit, where also the washing out the ore body (Au, Cu, BaSO4, Pb, Zn, Ag, Cd) occur. The main river of the region is the river Mashavera with its right side branches Kazretula and Poladauri. These rivers are really washouts of the ore body and strongly pollute the groundwater area. These rivers belong to the basins of the main river of the Caucasus – Mtkvari (Kura). The studies of ecological situation began in 1993- 94 and continue to this day by various agencies. All of these studies have confirmed the severity of the environmental situation of the area. According to the data in the range 20 km from the quarry, the territory (soil) is classified as contaminated. Soil contamination is more than 3 times then the maximum permissible concentration (MPC). Much worse is the condition of water in the rivers Kazretula and Poladauri, where the concentration of toxic metals in some places is more than MPC 50 or even 100 times. In one site the concentration of Cd reaches 3,8 mg/l, which is 2000 times greater than the normal value of ground water (0,002 mg/l). In the adjacent area of quarry the chemical elements are presented in concentrations exceeding existing standards MPC in Georgia. Almost everywhere are registered the increased concentrations of major pollutants: Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni, Mn, Cr, Ti, Mg, Cd, Hg; their concentration exceeds MPC 3-2 000 times. It should be stressed that the agricultural products (greens, vegetables, wine, etc.) of considered region represent the main source on the market of the capital of Georgia - Tbilisi. Analysis shows that the current system of Kura river water quality control is fragmented, does not provide the organization of alarm systems and in reality the system of operational analysis of the state of the river and the early warning system is absent. So it is highly desirable to organize independent early warning system capable of issuing real-time alarm to react on the spread of contamination with participation of existing institutions.
GEO. The representative meeting devoted to the involvement of citizens of Georgia in the DRR management is planned for 25 November by the Open Partial Agreement of the Council of Europe on Major Disasters (EUR- OPA), the Ministries of Environment Protection and Internal Affairs. Reports of representatives of these Ministries on the activities related to the topic will be presented. The presentation and dissemination of booklets: “Nuclear hazard. Chernobyl and Fukushima: Lessons for Public Awareness”, “Surviving disasters: a pocket guide for citizens” and “Dam Hazards and Risks” is planned. The Department of Extreme Situations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia prepared the answers to the Questionnaire: “Analysis of the regulations’ base on information of population in different countries on risks of extreme events and measures of protection” distributed by TESEC AZE
