    Regional Conference on South-East European Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems Kick-off meeting of the project ‘South East European Multi-Hazard Early Warning Advisory System (SEE-MHEWS-A)’ 5th October 2016, Zagreb, Croatia MEETING SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION Following the successful conclusion of the project “Building Resilience to Disasters in the Western Balkans and Turkey” in 2014, and responding to the needs identified by the beneficiaries, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in cooperation with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is initiating a new project “South East European Multi-Hazard Early Warning Advisory System” (SEE-MHEWS- A), which aims to strengthen the existing early warning capacity in the region. The Regional Conference on South-East European Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems marked the commencement of the SEE-MHEWS-A project. The Regional Conference comprised of three events including: 1. Project kick-off meeting on 5th October 2016; 2. Workshop on Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) on 6-7th October 2016; 3. Informal Conference of SEE Directors of NMHSs (ICSEED) meeting on 6-7 October 2016. The objectives of the conference were to: 1. Introduce the SEE-MHEWS-A project and its first phase of implementation; 2. Establish commitment to the project by the Directors of the Hydrometeorological Services; 3. Provide training on CAP implementation; 4. Establish cooperative foundation for project implementation. Kick-off meeting of the project was hosted by the Meteorological and Hydrological Service of Croatia and was attended by 73 experts from potential project beneficiaries and stakeholders (participant list is attached as the Annex I). 2 DESCRIPTION OF THE MEETING 2.1 Opening Session The welcoming addresses of the SEE-MHEWS-A kick-off meeting on 5 th October were given by Mr.

  • Meteoalarm Update
    Meteoalarm update Historical Background The concept of Meteoalarm was first discussed following the post-Christmas storms, “Lothar” (26 December) and “Martin” (27 and 28 December) in 1999. These devastating windstorms caused major losses. The economic cost of “Lothar” and “Martin” was estimated at €5 billion and €2.7 billion respectively. The number of people that died as a result of these storms was around 140, of which almost 90 casualties occurred in France. There were also numerous injuries. Within the meteorological commu- nity these storms provoked great interest and generated discussion on the use of conceptual models, such as Rapid Cyclogenesis, the apparent failure of numerical models to forecast these storms and inconsistencies in the way that warnings were issued across the affected areas of northern Europe. During the October 2000 workshop on the post-Christmas storms (at Météo-France in Toulouse) meteo- rologists from all over Europe met to bring these discussions together and put forward proposals based on ‘lessons learnt’. Météo-France announced their Vigilance system, designed to give all necessary meteorological warning information to French citi- zens in cases of severe weather. Also during this meeting the need was expressed by all European forecasters to establish a better international exchange of forecasts and warnings within Europe. The necessity to exchange ideas on the expected evolution of potential severe weather systems and more multi-national collaboration were the main reasons for this need. Working Group on Cooperation between European Forecasters After the above workshop took place, the Working Group on Cooperation between European Forecasters (WGCEF) developed the initiative to establish this exchange platform.
