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.
These training materials provide an introduction to the Ensemble Framework for Flash Flood Forecasting (EF5) system developed by the SERVIR Applied Sciences Team.
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.
