@Montreal @evablue Aren’t there some of the new buildings missing?

🧩 Los sistemas de alerta temprana combinan la predicción de riesgos naturales con avisos inmediatos a la población para salvar vidas

El de Japón es uno de los mejores del mundo. España tiene herramientas como ES-Alert pero aún debe mejorar en muchos aspectos (@jeff_hydromet)

[Jeff Da Costa 🇨🇦🇪🇺 @jeff_hydromet]

Spain’s ES-Alert system plays a key role, but challenges remain in translating forecasts into effective warnings and ensuring public trust.
🔎 @maldita is a fact-checking platform, consults experts to fight disinformation and provide accurate, life-saving information.

🌍 Turning Forecasts into Warnings:
I was asked to contribute to a @Maldito_clima https://t.co/0lFWaVnymV article on the October 2024 DANA floods in Spain (224 fatalities, €3B+ damages).

@WalkMontreal I did my undergrad in Environmental science there (uMontreal) ! Fun fact: William Shatner went to primary school there. Not sure what is in the Building now?

🚨Esto no debe caer en el olvido👇🏻

⭕️ Lo de Carlos Mazón con la DANA es indignante. Avisos de la AEMET, alertas rojas, desbordamientos anunciados, y él, de brazos cruzados, asegura que todo está “controlado” en un mensaje tan vergonzoso que incluso él ha intentado borrar.

No es que fuera incompetente; es que jugó con la vida de la gente. Desaparecidos, decenas de muertos, y el puente de Picanya hecho añicos mientras @carlos_mazon_ parecía más preocupado de aparentar calma que de proteger a su gente.

Aquí no hay excusas: es desidia, es irresponsabilidad, y es tener la cara de cemento armado.
#CarlosMazónDimisión

Following discussions on impact-based forecasting and warnings I gave a talk about evaluating warning systems using a value chain approach and I am looking forward to @UCLWRC hosting the future database

Last week the Final @WMO World Weather Research Programme #HiWeather Conference took place in #Munich, highlighting the efforts made by the research community (and beyond) to better understand and predict hazards.
