Virtual presentation de Predict Services
The presentation of the Gobeyond project and the EW4MED platform caught everyone’s attention as a solution capable of aggregating the functions and data needed for early warning and action. Dates have been set for further discussions.
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.
