🚨 No one should be caught off guard by a flood.

At @WMO Stories on Water, I stressed that #flood warnings must be clear, personal & actionable to save lives.

⚠️ "Warnings must move beyond alerts to become actionable guidance."

🌊Paper alert 👉https://t.co/xzYmyjZhrt! Predicting river disharge with historical data & @ECMWF SEAS5 forecasts. Insights guide national hydrological #forecasting & stress the need for region-specific strategies to boost predictability via improved monitoring & meteo forcings.

[Copernicus EMS @CopernicusEMS]

Curious about #floods? The 131 experts attending the last EU Flood Awareness System (EFAS) meeting discussed:

- EFAS v5.4 updates & roadmap for v6
- Satellite-based flood monitoring
- Workshops on notifications & metrics
- And more!

@EGU_HS @Mario_J_Franca @dValero_ @ArnauBayon @neoedui @BeniaminoRusso3 Very nice blog! I also believe it is time to make #flood alerts smarter, personal & truly life-saving! https://t.co/mEUhmI54VQ

[Ilias Pechlivanidis @IPechlivanidis]

Just few days ago at the @CopernicusEMS #EFAS Meeting, the life-saving role of #EarlyWarnings was stressed. The recent #floods in #Valencia show why we need stronger, more personal alerts to keep communities safe. We can’t let another #DANA become a disaster. #EW4All #Resilience

[Ilias Pechlivanidis @IPechlivanidis]

This year's #EFAS Annual Meeting @SMHI united 130 participants to discuss Europe’s #flood events and the impact of #EarlyWarnings in #DisasterRiskReduction. We remain dedicated to hydrological forecasting to protect communities & strengthen resilience. #EW4All #HEPEX #StormBoris

📢 NEW DROUGHT RESEARCH! ✨

Is #Europe #drought Prepared?🌍

@DitA_network latest study shows why preparedness is key in Drought Risk Management and why we need a #EC_Drought_Directive 🇪🇺
