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 1 April 2025, Alix Roumagnac was a guest on France Info. He spoke about the weather situation in the south of France in March.

The DANA (Dépresion Aislada en Niveles Altos) which hit Valencia in Spain, and the many other events of the past year, are increasingly challenging our organisations and our ability to deal with them. They underline the importance of implementing comprehensive, locally designed early warning systems that integrate risk awareness, preparedness, monitoring and warnings to promote resilience.
In response to this need, the EW4MED risk management platform was presented, as part of the Early Warnings for All (EW4ALL) initiative launched by the United Nations and supported by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO).
EW4MED Plateform
Inaugurated on 18 March, this platform is available to users from local authorities, inter-municipalities and state organisations in countries on both sides of the Mediterranean, and is designed to help them deal with the situations imposed by changing risks.
The CYCL’EAU MONTPELLIER-OCCITANIE trade fair is a must for all those involved in water management in the Mediterranean region.
It was held in Montpellier on 20 March 2025. Guillaume Ferry took part in a round table discussion on ‘WATER MANAGEMENT IN THE MEDITERRANEAN CONTEXT: FACING RISKS AND PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE’. He presented the innovative hydrometeorological risk management solutions deployed by Predict to make regions more resilient to climatic events.

On Thursday 20 March, Alix Roumagnac, Chairman of Predict Services, took part in the Space for Climate Observatory (SCO) congress, where he took part in a round table discussion on “Cooperation with Southern countries on space for sustainable development“, alongside :
– Aboubaker HASSAN, Secretary General of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research of Djibouti
– Gilles KLEITZ, Deputy Director of Science and in charge of sustainability sciences at the IRD
– Clara GUILHEML, Head of the Pole at Expertise France
Round table discussion
An opportunity to present the contribution of space data in the “Early Warnings for All” programme to strengthen the resilience of societies in the face of climate challenges, contribute to the safety of all and promote sustainable development.
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.
