Gathered in Geneva for the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction organized by the United Nations (UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction- UNDRR), Meteo France International (MFI) and PREDICT have signed an agreement to expand their cooperation in support of the EW4All initiative launched by the United Nations and supported by the World Meteorological Organization aimed at ensuring that every person on Earth is protected by a multi-hazard early warning system.
Faced with the increasing number of disasters linked to climatedisruption, extremeweather phenomena and their human, social and economic consequences, particularly in the most vulnerable countries, the two organizations are joining forces into a comprehensive Early Warning / Early action (EW/EA) solution for the joint benefit of National Hydrometeorological Services and National Disaster Management Authorities, meeting high expectations while preserving the full sovereignty of States in the field of early warnings.
Their recognized and structured expertise in meteorology, hydrology and climate, as well as in the management of natural hazards, enables them to design and implement concrete, sustainable solutions tailored to the needs of the territories and populations most at risk, within a framework of international cooperation. PREDICT will bring its unique know-how in the field of risk knowledge, contingency plans, real time monitoring and impact based forecast for early action, while MFI will extend its unique capacity as system integrator, to design and implement sustainable comprehensive projects over the full EW/EA value chain.
The combination of French know-how, at the crossroads of science, technology and international cooperation, enables the implementation of EW4All systems based on four fundamental pillars :
Pleased to contribute together to this essential challenge.
