Transcript JCOMM Perspective to WMO EWS Sympo

Symposium on multi-hazard early warning systems for
integrated disaster risk management
A JCOMM perspective
Enhanced early warning for better coastal or marine risk
management tanks to a multi-stakeholder approach

JCOMM http://www.jcommweb.net
Joint IOC/WMO technical commission for (operational)
Oceanography & Marine Meteorology
• Marine safety
• Maritime accident &
emergency support
• Oceanographic services
 regulations, guidance &
co-ordination for actors
Users
Services
2 huge challenges:
Maintain marine meteorology
& give live to operational
oceanography
JCOMM & Multi-Hazards
From Observation, Data Mgt, to Products & Services
 Focus on long-term, sustainable, marine (oceanic)
hazard warning systems
- Waves, surges, storms, sea ice, tsunamis, …
 Contributions to wider WMO/IOC coordinated efforts
- Review of existing activities to ensure
complementarity & effectiveness of JCOMM
contributions (orientation ?)
- Technical expertise, systems management,
information dissemination, Aware
capacity
building
of some
gaps,
weaknesses & incoherencies.
 Feb. 2006, JCOMM #37 We know our challenges &
“JCOMM contrib. to the development
& maintenance
also our strengths/offers.
of marine multi-hazard warning systems: Key issues
from JCOMM”
Possible JCOMM contributions
to the development and maintenance of marine
multihazard warning systems
•
•
•
•
•
•
Analysis of potential for existing marine platforms & deployment
facilities to contribute to a marine hazards early warning network;
Contribution to the development of guidance material for
Members/Member States relating to the components & operations
of a marine hazards warning service;
Coordination with IMO and IHO to ensure the dissemination of
tsunami warnings and related information through GMDSS
communications facilities for Maritime Safety;
Enhancement of the GLOSS network through the upgrading of
some of the existing GLOSS stations to tsunami monitoring
standard;
Coordinate an effective link for exchange and dissemination of
early warnings, contribute to the
development of a fast warning
Etc…
system, especially in the maritime safety, utilizing both existing
and new transmission facilities in order to reach the public and the
relevant mitigation mechanisms;
Coordination through the DBCP of deployment logistics for data
buoys, & of multi-use buoys for all hazards warnings & other
NMS response to disasters:
duties & needs, challenges, opportunities,
for National Met. Services & other agencies

Severe weather forecasting & high impact weather; Multi-hazards.
Closely linked to the users (civil security & disaster man. agencies).
A collaborative approach for sustainable operations & systems;
Built on operational structures.
Other hazards: a lot of commonalities. Let’s avoid collective failures!
The weather process
From observation to service;
Explore & analyse the whole NMS chain.
Nothing without observation
in situ & remote sensing
Nothing without telecom
real time management
Take advantage &
don’t re-invent the
Nothing without numerical
modeling
wheel…
data assimilation
computers (efficiency…)
Nothing without expertise before service
customer adapted (needs & constraints)

And people & facilities to run them (& fundings!)
Training & capacity building, formats &
protocols, telecommunications,
guidance, computer & IT know-how,
H24D365 organization, products &
products delivery, associated service,
& efficiency of the message!
Don’t wait for the tragedy…
How to drive agencies (& people) to meet?
Our duty! Quest for coherency…
at home… between WMO
commissions… in the global UN
system & with funding agencies!
