The Seismic Monitoring Center names the streets that may be affected by the landslide process on the Vashlijvari slope and says that it is necessary to temporarily relocate the population to a safe place

As it is often impossible to accurately predict landslides, it is necessary to temporarily relocate the population from the estimated area to a safe place, - reads the study of Institute for Earth Sciences and the National Center for Seismic Monitoring.

As stated in the report, it is necessary to assess the bad scenario, which includes all possible complications, in order to manage the process so as not to harm the population. According to the report, in case of landslide process, the following streets may be affected: Machavariani Street, Gelovani-Machavariani Highway under construction, Brotseuli Street, and Gelovani Street.

"In addition, the slipping of upper landslide will cause the lower landslide to mix and increase the volume of the fallen mass, which in case of reaching Gelovani Street is likely to lead to more severe consequences. Scenarios should be estimated - in which direction the landslide can spread and in which settlements it will affect.

Due to the size of the landslide (cut mass), which is equivalent to the mass eroded during the Vere events of 2015, it is necessary to evaluate a bad scenario that includes all possible complications in order to manage the process so as not to harm the population", - reads the report.

In addition, according to the report, due to the nature of the block landslide and the topography of the area, it is relatively unlikely that the affected mass will reach Gelovani Avenue, but for the safety of the population, a small probability should also be considered.
