  1. EARLY WARNING SYSTEM IN PAKISTAN FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT AzmatHayat Khan Director Pakistan Meteorological Department http://www.pakmet.com.pk

  2. PMD Seismology Meteorology Hydrology

  3. PMD A KEY OBJECTIVE • Early Warnings of hazards due to Meteorological, Hydrological & Geophysical Phenomena such as Tropical Cyclones, Heavy Rains, Floods & Tsunamies etc.

  4. The Early Warning PMD The provision of timely & effective information through identified institutions, that demands individuals exposed to hazard to take action to avoid or reduce their risk and prepare for effective response

  5. Components of Early Warning System PMD • Risk Knowledge • Monitoring & Warning Service • Tools & Technologies for Monitoring • Capacity to analyze info. • Capacity for reliable prediction • Dissemination & Communication • Response Capacities

  8. Improved Data Acquisition System An integrated observing system composed of remote-sensing, telemetric and automatic observation platforms has gradually become in shape, which are space-based, airborne and land-sited, so as to measure continuously multiple parameters of the climate system from all dimensions, with higher spatial and temporal resolution and with higher accuracies.

  18. D.O. No. F.1-3-97/FAM Ministry of Water & Water Federal Flood Commission, Riaz Ahmad Islamabad the 15.10.1997 Chairman Dear Doctor Sahib I feel honoured to acknowledge the accuracy of Meteorological Department’s recent flood forecast during August, 1997 record rainfall. Early warnings and consequent pre-releases from Mangla Dam saved the country from flood damages of the tune of approximately 5 billion rupees. With best regards, sd/ (RIAZ AHMAD)

  19. D.O. No. F.1-3-97/FAM Ministry of Food, Agriculture & Livestock Government of Pakistan, Mian Abdul Sattar Laleka Islamabad the 28.12.1998 Minister My Dear General Sahib I feel pleasure in informing you that this year the country has been able to save about Rs. 70-80 crores on account of pesticides sprayed on cotton crops, because of the precise and timely weather forecast / advisories of Met. Office. I have already briefed the Prime Minister about this overwhelming success. With best regards, Yours sincerely (Abdul Sattar Laleka)

Water & Power Development Authority • National Power Control Centre • No.CENPCC/2080 Islamabad the 27.02.1999 • Director General, • Meteorological Department • H-8/2, Islamabad • Subject: IMPORTANCE OF WEATHER REPORTS FOR LOAD FORECAST. • Thanking you for the proposal attention to our requests. It will be appreciate to explain that daily weather reports help this centre in accurate Load Forecasts for the day. Based on Load Forecasts demand is placed on IPP’s thermal units. • On 2-7-1998 WAPDA saved Rs.12.3 million for not demanding HUBCO unit, as your report had a forecast of Rain at Lahore, which proved correct. • Concerned with weather of each city related to Load in turn, the undersigned shall be grateful if you supply us every minute weather details. • (HABIB ULLAH) • Chief Engineer NPCC

  22. PMD PMD’s Tropical Cyclone Early Warning System

  23. Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre (TCWC) Karachi PMD PMD has recently establishment a Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre (TCWC) at Karachi with a backup support at its main forecasting office Islamabad.

  24. Tracking of TC PMD • PMD made use of various tools and techniques in order to better predict the behaviour of the system (deep depression) especially prediction of track. • Climatology (data, history, precedents) • The synoptic situation • Upper air pressure profile (Isohypse and Isallohypse at different heights) • Upper air wind profile • Satellite imagery/products • Model outputs and Analysis of other regional and global centers, and etc.

  26. PMD Details about Cyclone 03B – YEMYIN (24th -26th June, 2007)

  27. Information dissiminated regarding Cyclone 03B First Bulletin June 22, 2007 at 1300 PST Sindh: A strong Monsoon weather system (deep depression) over India is likely to approach Sindh coast in next 36-48 hours. Widespread, heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely in Sindh especially in Southern Sindh and coastal areas including Karachi. Sea conditions will be extremely rough along Sindh coast. Fishermen are advised to stop fishing activities from 24th afternoon till 27th afternoon. Irrigation authorities may reduce the canal discharges. Balochistan: Later the Monsoon weather system is expected to move towards Balochistan coast. It may produce heavy to very heavy rainfall in Balochistan especially in coastal areas including Gawadar, Jiwani, Pasni, Ormara, Lasbella etc. Hilly areas especially in Southern Balochistan may experience flash floods. Due to very rough sea conditions, fishermen are advised not to venture into the Sea from 25-28 June, 2007. Special Bulletins were regularly issued on subsequent development and movement of the tropical cyclone until its dissipation on June 26, 2007.
