SERVIR scientists discuss the how the Regional Drought Monitoring and Early Warning System is being used in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region.
As COP28 draws to a close in Dubai, the SERVIR program, implemented by NASA, USAID, and key regional partners, is reflecting on its role in addressing the climate crisis. This story describes are four ways SERVIR is contributing to international climate action for both climate mitigation and adaptation.
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.

As part of this service, SERVIR HKH, with the technical support of Brigham Young University developed a streamflow prediction tool that incorporates all primary and secondary rivers in the HKH region
The Forecasting Seasonal to Sub-seasonal Fire and Agricultural Risk from Drought service provides information for evaluating drought conditions at temporal and spatial resolution to predict fire vulnerability in the Amazon basin.
The Supporting Better Riverine and Flash Flood Forecasting for the Lower Mekong service improves riverine flood forecasts and enhances flash flood guidance monitoring in the region.
