  • Public Weather Service Value for Money Review
    Public Weather Service Value for Money Review March 2015 Mike Gray Public Weather Service Customer Group Secretariat Page 1 of 25 Public Weather Service Value for Money Review Executive Summary Through analysing existing studies and literature on the economic value of weather forecasts, and using up to date figures, this review concludes with high confidence that the benefits of the Public Weather Service (PWS) to the UK are very likely to exceed £1bn per annum, and are likely to be close to £1.5bn per annum. This is consistent with the findings of the previous value for money study prepared for the PWS Customer Group (PWSCG) by PA from 2007 which assessed the economic benefits of the PWS at £614m per annum and, given its limited scope, considered the benefits to be many times that figure. Sectors considered in the review were the perceived value to the public (which had an estimated benefit of £480m per annum), value to aviation (£400m per annum), added value to other sectors of the economy (£400m per annum), storm damage avoidance (£80m per annum), value to land transport (£100m per annum) and flood damage avoidance (£64m per annum). Other benefits included the hosting of the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) in the UK (£60m per annum) and business of over €200m for the UK space industry by being able to bid for EUMETSAT (the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites) contracts by virtue of UK membership paid for by the PWS. It is estimated that the PWS contributes to reducing deaths from high impact weather by many tens per year, and many more during individual severe events such as North Sea coastal flooding.

    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.
