The Hydrometeorological Service is a Department attached to Ministry of Agriculture. It was established on 5th October, 1965 by Cabinet of Guyana. The Department’s responsibility is to monitor and evaluate the weather and water resources in Guyana and to actively support the government in disaster risk management and aviation, water, agriculture, engineering and other agencies for the socio-economic development of the country. It is the official provider of weather, water and climate information and related products and services for Guyana.

STATUS OF IMPACT BASED FORECASTS The Hydrometeorological services produces the forecast and sends same to; sectorial agencies, public and other bodies: Health Agriculture Drainage and irrigation City council NDC and RDC Ministry of Public infrastructure.

INSTANCES OF ARTICULATION National Disaster Risk management Protocol The agencies are separate The DRM platform : Hydromet, CDC, Red Cross, Police, Fire fighters, Drainage and irrigation, Agriculture, Health, etc. Hydromet in the Secretariat for the EWS Subcommittee of the National Disaster Risk Reduction Platform Hydromet feeds the platform with information in all phases of an emergency

WEAKNESSES AND STRENGTHS * Warning and Alerts sometimes get out late due to the dissemination chain. * Due to the process, the message is sometimes changed/sensationalized. Good monitoring capabilities Responsible agencies know what the situation on the ground is and how they are to respond in the case of each disaster. DRMs meets periodically to assess the needs, concerns, plans, etc. CDC is ready to act to address any situation.
