GOBEYOND project : a stopover in Portugal

The partners of the GOBEYOND project (GeO and weather multi-hazard impact Based Early warning and response systems supporting rapid deploYment of first respONders in EU and beyonD), led by the University of Catalonia and supported by the European Union, met in Sétubal, Portugal, to share the project’s progress and prepare the next steps.

Gobeyond responds to the need to implement a global early warning system, as called for by the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

The aim of the project is to design and provide a platform for anticipating and managing the impacts of hydro-meteorological and geological hazards (earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis), in order to continuously improve operational response in Europe and the Mediterranean basin.

Predict presented a first version of the prototype, integrating functionalities meeting the needs of the four pillars of risk management (Risk Knowledge – Preparedness – Monitoring – Warning and Dissemination), as well as European data made available by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).
