Abstract
In 1987 by the resolution of the Council of Europe the EUR-OPA Major Hazards Agreement was created. EUR-OPA Major Hazards Agreement is a platform for co-operation in the field of major natural and technological disasters between Europe and the South of the Mediterranean. The Georgian-European Centre on Geodynamical Hazards of High Dams - GHHD (Tbilisi, Georgia) was founded in 1996. The paper considers the main results of GHHD activity obtainedduring 20 years after its foundation.
