MedEWSa

The Mediterranean and Pan-European Forecast and Early Warning System against Natural Hazards (MedEWSa) project will deliver sophisticated, comprehensive, and innovative solutions, comprising a range of complementary services. MedEWSa is an Innovation action (IA) project led by the World Meterological Organisation (WMO) and a consortium of 30 partners. Building on existing tools, MedEWSa will develop a fully integrated impact-based multi-hazard early warning system (EWS). It will achieve advances beyond the state-of-the-art in the areas of AI-based decision support solutions for improved impact prediction, methods for impact prediction and early warnings, modelling and prediction of multiple hazard dynamics and their interdependencies. MedEWSa will explore hybrid methods combining data-driven approaches and the laws of physics, using tools learned from observations and physics-based model results. Ultimately, it will deploy an analysis to provide integrated, accurate, and rapid early warnings for the pan-European-Mediterranean-African region. MedEWSa will also set out a roadmap for contributing to different standardisation activities to identify significant opportunities to push contributions into future standards, pre-normative activities, and open collaborative development environments. In that sense, MedEWSa will benefit from the participation of JLU, WMO, and HHI, who actively participate in international standardisation activities, such as the ITU/WMO/UNEP Focus Group on AI for Natural Disaster Management.
