SERVIR scientists discuss the how the Regional Drought Monitoring and Early Warning System is being used in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region.
The Nepal DHM is the national agency responsible for monitoring and managing the hydrological resources of Nepal. This Use Case describes how they used the SERVIR Enhancing Flood Early Warning Services (EWS).
The Monitoring Extreme Weather in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) service provides a customized numerical weather prediction toolkit to assess high impact convective weather events over the HKH region.
The Regional Stream Flow Monitoring and Forecasting Service was designed to provide real-time streamflow forecasts for several watersheds in East Africa and bias-corrected satellite precipitation products to enable the timely prediction and monitoring of extreme events.
Cyclone Idai left more than 1,000 people dead and thousands more missing, potentially affecting millions in Southern Africa. As emergency response and recovery efforts continue, another disaster is likely unfolding elsewhere on the continent: Idai pulled precipitation South, away from Eastern Africa, resulting in persistent dry conditions affecting crops at the start of the main growing season.
The Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region is no stranger to water- and weather-induced hazards. Every year, these disasters result in loss of lives, livelihoods, and damage to infrastructure throughout HKH countries.
SERVIR Hindu Kush Himalaya partnered with the University of Alaska Fairbanks to organize a training titled HydroSAR: Extracting flood information from SAR to advance the use of SAR at ICIMOD and across the HKH region.
Floods are a recurring event in the HKH region that often have disastrous consequences. To help better understand these events, SERVIR HKH developed the Flood Inundation Mapping Tool, a cloud-based system developed to map flood areas in Bhutan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and the northeast part of India.
The Regional Drought Monitoring and Outlook System (RDMOS) was developed to help predict, mitigate, and adequately respond to drought vulnerabilities in the HKH region.
