Abstract

Kvemo Kartli is directly adjacent to the capital of Georgia and supplies it with essential agricultural products. Hazardous weather conditions typical for the region negatively affect all sectors of the region’s economy and the country as a whole. Therefore, to mitigate the expected negative consequences in the region, based on the observations of 8 meteorological stations, the probabilities of typical hazardous weather phenomena and the possible social and economic risks associated with these phenomena were studied with unfavorable weather conditions. It was found that for the region as a whole, the most significant social and economic risks are represented by fog and strong wind.
