2018-05-08 (IPMA)
The annual meeting of EMMA / METEOALARM partners was held in Lisbon, Portugal, on 3rd and 4th May 2018. EMMA / METEOALARM corresponds to the European meteorological warnings system, which currently has 37 members and is disseminated in 33 languages.
The EMMA / METEOALARM program is carried out within the framework of the activities of EUMETNET (the European Agency for the Cooperation of Meteorological Services) and promotes the harmonization of criteria and procedures for the issuing meteorological warnings in order to ensure a better use of this information by European citizens.
The meeting focused on current developments and on the activities planned for the new phase of the EMMA / METEOALARM program in 2019-2022, namely on the adaptation of the warning system to the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and on the discussion of impact based forecasting and warning, that simultaneously attributes and demands an increasingly multidisciplinary nature to meteorological warnings.
