Abstract
Natural and man-made hazards may disrupt and affect negatively
agricultural sector. 0Damage and loss caused by disasters which are likely
to become more frequent and severe due to Climate Change effects, need
to be assessed, because precise sector-specific disaster losses and damage
data are a vital indication for disaster risk reduction and policy-making.
This paper responds to the necessity of creation a unified methodology for
the damage and loss assessment in Agriculture Sector in Georgia. The paper
introduces a comprehensive formula for damage assessment in agriculture
sector. Assessment formulas has been designed to be compliant to the
Sendai Framework requirements while enforcing the assessment of damages
in agriculture with a multi-temporal dimension. The proposed methodology
differs from other well know methodologies (ECLAC- DaLA, FAO and UNSDR
methodologies) by excluding certain aspects and adding relevant variables
(e.g. yield per hectare by region, irrigation and varieties; production capacity
until full recovery of perennial crops etc. has been considered). Collected
data can be used to calculate volume of compensation in agriculture sector
and improve compensation procedures. As well as, it will enable relevant
government agencies, private insurance companies, and research institutes
to develop (calibrate) damage and loss assessment models.
