  1. WMO World Meteorological OrganizationWorking together in weather, climate and water Expected Result: 6 ENHANCED CAPABILITIES OF MEMBERS IN MULTI-HAZARD EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS AND DISASTER PREVENTION AND PREPAREDNESS Doc 4.1 EXECUTIVE COUNCIL – SIXTY-SECOND SESSION June 8 – 18, 2010 www.wmo.int

  2. WMO Disaster Risk Reduction Programme is underpinned by the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 developed using a new paradigm in Disaster Risk Management with focus on preparedness and prevention WMO DRR Programme (Para. 4.1.2)

  3. Implementation of HFA at National level (Para. 4.1.3) Increases: • Engagement of DRM stakeholders with Meteorological, Hydrological and Climate Services; • Receptiveness of governments to NMHS as key component within the national DRM institutional framework; and, • Funding opportunities.

  4. DRR Challenges for NMHS (Para. 4.1.4) • 70% of countries need amendments or restructuring of their national policies and legislation • Reflection of the role of NMHS in policies, legislation, plans • 65% NMHS need strengthening or full modernization of infrastructure • Observations, forecasting systems, communication, data management, etc • 80% NMHS need technical and management training : • Hazard data bases, mapping and analysis and (meteorological, hydrological and climate) forecasting tools, • 80% of NMHS need strengthening or building multi-sectoral institutional partnerships, coordination and service delivery • e.g., emergency services, infrastructure and planning, etc)

  5. WMO DRR Implementation (Para. 4.1.5) 1) Engage in Regional Cooperation Programmes with National development component2) Leverage through integrated planning the capacity development, guidelines and training available through WMO Technical Programmes, and TCs for the implementation of regional/national development projects

  6. Criteria for DRR Projects(Para. 4.1.5) (1) Alignment with WMO disaster risk reduction strategic goals Built on priorities, requirements and needs of Members at regional, sub-regional, or country-grouping levels through a multi-stakeholder approach (a critical role for the Regional Association) Projects have national development complemented with regional cooperation (4) Involve integrated planning, budgeting, implementation (leveraging WMO and external partners’ expertise and resources) (5) Result-based approach (Outcomes, deliverables, timelines) (6) Must be scalable and ensure sustainability of capacities overtime (7) Ensure end-to-end solutions to the Members leading to better decision-making capacities (8) Well defined resource mobilization strategy for implementation

  7. Role of Regional Associations(Para’s. 4.1.6 – 4.1.7) Outcomes of the Training Workshop on Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS held in San Jose, Costa Rica, 22 to 25 March 2010: • Central America: A demonstration project in MHEWS for hydro-meteorological hazards will be implemented in Central America including in Costa Rica, El Salvador and Nicaragua, to demonstrate the benefits of operational cooperation between the NMHSs and DRMAs. This will be financially supported by the World Bank, NOAA, USAID/OFDA and other donors; • The Caribbean: A Regional Cooperation Programme in MHEWS will be developed for all countries in the Caribbean in RA IV, building on existing national and regional capacities and initiatives, engaging National Disaster Risk Management Agencies and NMHSs and all relevant regional centers and institutions, WMO Regional Association IV, the Hurricane Committee, WMO Technical Programmes and international partners supporting disaster risk reduction and early warning systems in the region.

  8. Provision of Hazard Information and Analysis for Risk Assessment and Planning(Para’s. 4.1.9 – 4.1.13) • 92% of NMHS requested standard guidelines for standardization of hazard data, metadata and mapping tools (WMO DRR Survey) • Progress in developing such guidelines by WMO Commissions • Need for operationalisation through participation of NMHS in Risk Assessment projects • Importance of an integrated drought risk management approach • Progress with the Assessment of Natural Disaster Impacts on Agriculture (ANADIA) • Lincoln declaration on Drought Indices • User manual on SPI • Drought chapter of the UN GAR 11 report

  9. Documentation of Good Practices and development guidelines for Institutional Partnerships in MHEWS (Para. 4.1.14) Guidelines on Institutional Aspects EWS with Multi-Hazard Approach Planning, legislative, financing, Institutional Coordination and Roles of NMHS Synthesis of First set of 7 Good PracticesRole of National Metrological and Hydrological Services Japan Multi-Hazard Early Warning System Bangladesh Cyclone Preparedness Programme Cuba Tropical Cyclone Early Warning System France “Vigilance System” Shanghai Multi-Hazard Emergency Preparedness Programme USA Multi-Hazard Early Warning System Germany The Warning Management of the Deutscher Wetterdienst First EWS Publication of a series being published in 2010together with a technical WMO guidelines.

  10. Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems and Emergency Response Operations(Para’s. 4.1.15 - 4.1.17) • Technical capacity development activities in support of early warning systems to be linked to DRR national/regional projects: • GDPFS, SWFDP • Flash Flood project with USAID in Southern Africa • PWSP and health • Integrated approach for coastal risk management, Storm-surge watch system, Coastal Inundation Forecast Demonstration Project (TCP, UNESCO-IOC, ICG) • Operational arrangements for nuclear emergency response to be maintained. Collaboration with IAEA and CTBTO • Lessons learnt from Shanghai multi-hazard early warning system project be documented and considered for scaling up to other medga cities

  11. Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems and Emergency Response Operations(Para’s. 4.1.15 - 4.1.18) • Short-, Medium – and Long-term developments of the Haitian National Meteorological Service • Coordination of Members’ contribution for meteorological support during the 2010 Rainy and Hurricane Season • Coordination with UN/World Bank/EU Post Disaster Risk Assessment and Reconstruction processes for medium and long-term development of The Meteorological and Hydrological Services.

  12. Catastrophe Insurance and Weather Risk Management Within Financial Risk Transfer Markets(Para. 4.1.19) • In response to request of EC-LX, experiences of several NMHSs in serving financial risk transfer markets is being documented (in cooperation with WFP and World bank) – • Good practice document to be developed and published in 2011 • Link to emerging opportunities for climate services for (re)insurance sector.

  13. …. to support multi-hazard risk assessment and risk reduction in sectors such as … Infrastructure, housing and urban planning Land zoning (Re)Insurance / Finance Agricultural productivity and food security Health epidemics Water resource management Emerging opportunities for development of climate services for disaster risk management (Para. 4.1.20) WCC-III Stressed that climate forecasting and analysis tools provide unprecedented opportunities …

  14. Emerging opportunities for development of climate services for disaster risk management (Para’s 4.1.21-4.1.22) • WCRP ework on Climate Extremes, Climate information to support risk management decision-making in the Greter Horn of Africa • Major Coordinated Climate Research and Forecasting Initiave underway for Development of Climate Services for (Re)Insurance Drivers are: • Legislative: new requirements (USA, UK and EU, etc) for the companies to report of their climate risk. • Industry: Funding research and partnering with climate research community, risk modeling experts, and NMHS to develop relevant climate services. • Climate Community and NMHS: Vary receptive and have initiated various projects and activities.

  15. WMO Coordination in Haiti after the January 2010 Earthquake (INF 4.1) • Status of Meteorological and Hydrological Services Prior to Earthquake • Coordination facilitated by WMO Secretariat • with RA IV and Members (USA, Canada, France, Cuba, Dominican Republique, etc) • within WMO Secretariat • with UN and International Agencies • Participation in UN Revised Flash Appeal and Post Disaster Needs Assessment (UN/World Bank) for reconstruction • Operational System for the Provision of Meteorological Information and Warnings (Hurricane Season 2010) • Martinique/France, Canada, UK, CNM, SNRE, etc • Daily meteorological bulletins and Warning Dissemination to authorities and agencies • Medium to Long-Term Development of CNM and SNRE Haiti Side event to be held on June 17 at 13:30-14:30.
