On 3 April 2025, Alix Roumagnac, Chairman of Predict Services, co-hosted a webinar with Yassine Saidoun and Morgane Schwab, Director of Zurich Resilience Solutions and climate risk consultant respectively, on how our organisations can adapt to climate risks.
1- From understanding the risks and exposures,
2- preparing preventive organisations,
3- detecting and monitoring risks
4- and disseminating information, all four pillars of an EW4ALL risk management and early warning system were addressed.
On 18 and 19 March 2025, Predict Services took part in the first GOBEYOND Workshop in Seville, a key event for the deployment of early warning systems in the Mediterranean area.
The event saw the launch of the EW4MED (Early Warning For MED) project, a comprehensive solution dedicated to the management of climatic and geological risks. This innovative tool is based on four fundamental pillars:
🔹 Knowledge of the risk: analysis of exposure and assessment of vulnerabilities.
🔹 Preparation: organisation, preventive action plan and simulation exercises.
🔹 Monitoring: 24/7 monitoring, anticipation of phenomena and operational coordination.
🔹Dissemination: real-time warning and communication.
The Mediterranean is a particularly vulnerable area to climate change, exposed to numerous meteorological and geological hazards. Countries such as Andorra, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia and many others are involved in this initiative to strengthen the resilience of their territories.
Using the EW4MED platform live
Attended by representatives of international authorities, civil protection officials and operational experts, the GOBEYOND Workshop marks a major step towards more effective risk management and better anticipation of crises.
With EW4MED, Predict Services is continuing its commitment to early warning and rapid action for communities at risk.

On Wednesday 11 December, a team from the Kenya Space Agency, together with representatives from universities, start-ups and local companies, visited Montpellier as part of a study visit to Europe organised by Aerospace Valley.
The visit is part of a European project led by Expertise France called ‘Data Governance in Africa’, which aims to develop data policies centred on people and development at different scales in several African countries.
Predict Services welcomed this delegation with the aim of sharing and discussing the innovative methods, tools and solutions that have been deployed by local authorities, businesses and citizens for over 20 years in the management of hydrometeorological risks.
These discussions provided food for thought on potential collaborations.
Thunderstorms, intense rainfall, flooding… the events that have impacted our regions in recent months have once again highlighted the need to adapt to climatic risks.
At local level, there are a number of preventive measures in place to help identify and take appropriate action. For over 10 years, Groupama-Predict has been providing day-to-day support to local authorities in drawing up their Plans Communaux de Sauvegarde (PCS) and their DICRIM, and in providing real-time information in the event of risk.
At the Salon des Maires et des Collectivités Locales in Paris from November 19 to 21, Groupama-Predict engineers will be on hand to present the climate risk adaptation solutions included in your local authority insurance policy.

Invited by CNES (Centre National d’Etude Spatial) to the Spatial Climate Observatory Congress on May 30, 2023 at Bercy, Predict presented the Gade Lapli project. This project provides indicators and services using satellite data to estimate rainfall and flood areas. Tested on the highly vulnerable territory of Haiti, the operational objective (warning, crisis management) also serves to understand climate change by identifying and characterizing extreme events.
