Our Partners<\/strong><\/h4>

PEOPLE recognizes the need to include actors from diverse communities and integrate their knowledge into the design and development of early warning systems. To do so, it has established a series of partnerships with projects and organizations that share the same vision.<\/p>

M3E – Mediterranean Extreme Events Experiment<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>

The Mediterranean Extreme Events Experiment (M3E) is a project aimed at increasing observation coverage in the Mediterranean Sea. This initiative involves the deployment of drifting buoys to provide valuable sea-level pressure observations, which are crucial for weather forecasting and climate monitoring. The buoys will operate for up to two years and are part of a global observing system that enhances the accuracy of forecasts by offering more accurate initial conditions. The M3E project is a collaborative effort involving organizations such as the Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale, Foundation Euro Mediterranean Center on Climate Change, E-SurfMar, and Agenzia Italia Meteo. The project is particularly significant given the region’s recent extreme events, such as Storm Daniel in September 2023, and aims to improve the understanding and response to such occurrences.<\/p>

Resilience and Preparedness to Tropical Cyclones over Southern Africa (REPRESA)<\/strong><\/a><\/h4><\/div>

(2023 – 2026)<\/em><\/h4>

REPRESA focuses on the impacts of landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs) in Madagascar, Malawi, and\u00a0 Mozambique.\u00a0Through knowledge sharing from different perspectives, REPRESA aims to leave a long-term legacy of improved in-country capability in multi-hazard impact-based forecasting, improved community-level early warning communication and improved resilience to tropical cyclones.<\/p>

UNESCO UT City CoLab<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>

(2025 – 2028)<\/em><\/h4>

The UT and UNESCO City CoLab is an innovative, community-centric, partnership platform to develop tools, data products, and a localized understanding of how weather extreme forecasts, and information can be used by the community and stakeholders with a particular focus on cities. The project was successfully developed and piloted for the City of Austin and has been endorsed and funded by the City of Austin, and the University of Texas at Austin.<\/p>

Weather and Climate Information Services (WISER): Early Warnings for Southern Africa (EWSA)<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>

(2023 – 2025)<\/em><\/h4>

The WISER EWSA team of meteorologists, academics, economists, and user engagement specialists from South Africa, Zambia, Mozambique and the UK will work with disaster risk management agencies and non-governmental organisations, focusing on women and people with disabilities to reduce disaster risk through the co-production of new satellite based nowcasting information and services for early warnings.<\/p>

WWRP Working Group on Societal and Economic Research Applications (SERA)<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>

SERA aims to advance the science of the social and economic applications\u00a0of weather-related information and services. SERA has the responsibility for the entire range of timescales and\u00a0societal and economic\u00a0research\u00a0and applications associated with the WWRP. SERA brings the knowledge of how to\u00a0co-design and implement research projects between physical and social scientists to achieve more useful information for society.<\/p>
