Crucial Moment of Topographic Map for Effective Management of Natural Disasters

Abstract

Georgia, as a country with many mountainous regions, is characterized by natural disasters. This means that our country always experiences one or another catastrophic processes locally. Against the background of climatic warming, the increase of water level in rivers and the melting of glaciers, accompanied by water falls and mudslides, became more active. These events took place both in the past and now in Georgia. Therefore, we need to know how to manage them, both from state structures, as well as through scientific research and state defense systems. It is important to note the role of topographic maps in managing such natural events. Its example is the Buba glacier and the Devdorak glacier, where a military contingent was involved in the final management and emergency rescue operations were carried out. This is doubly important during the current research in order to timely eliminate the negative consequences of the current disaster.
