Enhancing Data Availability
RIMES supports Member States in enhancing monitoring networks and data management systems to ensure data availability and address gaps in multi-hazard early warning information.
1
Establish and enhance observing and monitoring systems
to generate climate and disaster related data of national and regional interest
2
Build data integration system
to unify multiple data acquisition platforms and online services
3
Promote data sharing mechanism
to leverage regional and global data bank and improve forecast products
Modeling and Forecasting
1
Global and Regional Cooperation for modeling & forecasting
using global weather predictions and observations
2
Support NMHSs
on producing high resolution localized hydro-meteorological forecasts
3
Support NTWCs
on assessing hazard, vulnerability and exposure to potential earthquake, tsunami, and
coastal inundation
RIMES co-develops models for risk and impact-based forecasting with Member States and fosters cooperation at national, regional and global levels for data sharing to improve accuracy and lead-time of forecasts.
Community Outreach & Feedback
RIMES facilitates mechanisms for empowering local institutions and communities through actionable risk information and two-way interaction for enhanced resilience.
