Overview
As a result of the high humanitarian costs globally from natural disasters, the WMO, through several Commissions: CHy, CBS and JCOMM (which is joint with the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission) and a range of experts and Member countries, has coordinated the establishment of three “demonstration” projects over the last decade to minimise the human and infrastructure impact of natural extreme hazards in the areas of flooding, coastal ocean impacts and severe meteorological events. These three demonstration projects are FFGS, CIFDP and SWFDP. As lead consultants we have been requested to undertake Part B as a team to bring together the projects and our analyses of them with the aim of recommending a consolidated approach for efficient and sustainable CIFDP, FFGS and SWFDP.
