Presentation Transcript

  1. 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 Philippe Dandin JCOMM Management Committee GOOS Scientific Steering Committee

  2. UsersServices 2 huge challenges:Maintain marine meteorology& give live to operational oceanography JCOMMhttp://www.jcommweb.netJoint IOC/WMO technical commission for (operational) Oceanography & Marine Meteorology • Marine safety • Maritime accident & emergency support • Oceanographic services  regulations, guidance & co-ordination for actors

  3. Aware of some gaps,weaknesses & incoherencies. We know our challenges & also our strengths/offers. JCOMM & Multi-HazardsFrom 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, capacity building • Feb. 2006, JCOMM #37“JCOMM contrib. to the development & maintenance of marine multi-hazard warning systems: Key issues from JCOMM”

  4. Etc… Possible JCOMM contributionsto the development and maintenance of marinemultihazard 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 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 mission requirements.

  5. 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!

  6. The weather processFrom observation to service;Explore & analyse the whole NMS chain. Nothing without observationin situ & remote sensing Nothing without telecom real time management Nothing without numerical modeling data assimilation computers (efficiency…) Nothing without expertise before service customer adapted (needs & constraints) Take advantage & don’t re-invent the wheel…

  7. Global Ocean Observing System for Climate Now 53% complete. GCOS-92 Sea Surface Temperature, Sea Surface Height, Surface Vector Wind, Sea Ice, and Ocean Color from Space Expensive, widespread, multi-form (from global to local) We need support & help… (same needs) Tide Gauge Network 58% complete 3˚x3˚ Argo Profiling Float Array 71% complete 5˚x5˚ Surface Drifting Buoy Array 100% complete Moored Buoy Existing Planned Ocean Reference Station Existing Planned High Resolution XBT and Flux Line Existing Planned Frequently Repeated XBT Line Existing Planned Carbon Inventory & Deep Ocean Line Global Survey @ 10 years

  8. Training & capacity building, formats & protocols, telecommunications, guidance, computer & IT know-how, H24D365 organization, products & products delivery, associated service,& efficiency of the message! Similar tools/needs (& traps!)And people & facilities to run them (& fundings!)

  9. Our duty! Quest for coherency…at home… between WMO commissions… in the global UN system & with funding agencies! Don’t wait for the tragedy…How to drive agencies (& people) to meet?
