This grant, offered by NOAA’s National Weather Service, Office of International Affairs, is designed to significantly enhance the global capacity of operational National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) organizations. The primary purpose is to empower these services worldwide to effectively implement robust, end-to-end early warning systems for weather and climate-related hazards, thereby contributing to disaster risk reduction. Through this funding, the program fosters critical collaboration among operational meteorologists, climatologists, hydrologists, and researchers. The aim is to develop and deploy innovative programs that will fundamentally improve weather and climate-based early warning capabilities, particularly in developing countries, ensuring communities are better prepared for environmental challenges.
