SERVIR scientists discuss the how the Regional Drought Monitoring and Early Warning System is being used in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region.
Enhancing Anticipatory Actions for Disaster and Climate Resilience aims to reduce the loss of lives and damage to properties and crops from floods and droughts by improving early warnings using satellite data and geospatial information.
USAID’s 2024-2028 Geospatial Strategy promotes leveraging the power of geospatial data and technology to target the delivery of international programs.
SERVIR will be at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) fall conference December 11 - 15, 2023. We have compiled a list of SERVIR affiliated colleagues who will be presenting throughout the week. Please come and meet us at our talks and posters.
The Regional Drought Monitoring and Outlook System (RDMOS) was developed to help predict, mitigate, and adequately respond to drought vulnerabilities in the HKH region.
When irrigation isn't available, it's important to know when to expect rain. But with changes to our climate, farmers in West Africa can no longer count on a predictable weather. To mitigate this, SERVIR West Africa works with AGRHYMET to improve access to reliable weather and crop forecasts.
