Hazardous Weather Warnings

The Expert Team on Disaster Preparedness and Mitigation (ET-DPM) is gathering success stories showing how disaster prevention and preparedness, in particular, effective warning systems, reduce vulnerability. It is planned that the stories grow into a database, which the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) can use to develop benchmarks for the enhancement of their PWS.

Examples

Country Type of Hazard Example
South Africa Snowfall and rainfall Snowfalls, very cold and heavy rainfalls
