On Thursday 27 March, Alix Roumagnac, Chairman of Predict Services, spoke at the conference entitled ‘Alerting the population: scientific and operational issues’, organised by Avignon University.

Alix Roumagnac and Johnny Douvinet

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.

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.

GOBEYOND Project : Launch of EW4MED

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.
