1. Symposium on multi-hazard early warning systems for integrated disaster risk management A JCOMM perspective Enhanced early warning for better coastal or marine risk management tanks to a multi-stakeholder approach Philippe Dandin JCOMM Management Committee GOOS Scientific Steering Committee

2. Users Services JCOMM http://www.jcommweb.net Joint IOC/WMO technical commission for (operational) Oceanography & Marine Meteorology http://www.jcommweb.net Marine safety Maritime accident & emergency support Oceanographic services  regulations, guidance & co-ordination for actors 2 huge challenges: Maintain marine meteorology & give live to operational oceanography

3. JCOMM & Multi-Hazards From Observation, Data Mgt, to Products & Services  Focus on long-term, sustainable, marine (oceanic) hazard warning systems - Waves, surges, storms, sea ice, tsunamis, …  Contributions to wider WMO/IOC coordinated efforts - Review of existing activities to ensure complementarity & effectiveness of JCOMM contributions (orientation ?) - Technical expertise, systems management, information dissemination, capacity building  Feb. 2006, JCOMM #37 “JCOMM contrib. to the development & maintenance of marine multi-hazard warning systems: Key issues from JCOMM” Aware of some gaps, weaknesses & incoherencies. We know our challenges & also our strengths/offers.

4. Possible JCOMM contributions to the development and maintenance of marine multihazard warning systems Analysis of potential for existing marine platforms & deployment facilities to contribute to a marine hazards early warning network; Contribution to the development of guidance material for Members/Member States relating to the components & operations of a marine hazards warning service; Coordination with IMO and IHO to ensure the dissemination of tsunami warnings and related information through GMDSS communications facilities for Maritime Safety; Enhancement of the GLOSS network through the upgrading of some of the existing GLOSS stations to tsunami monitoring standard; Coordinate an effective link for exchange and dissemination of early warnings, contribute to the development of a fast warning system, especially in the maritime safety, utilizing both existing and new transmission facilities in order to reach the public and the relevant mitigation mechanisms; Coordination through the DBCP of deployment logistics for data buoys, & of multi-use buoys for all hazards warnings & other mission requirements. Etc…

5. NMS response to disasters: duties & needs, challenges, opportunities, for National Met. Services & other agencies Severe weather forecasting & high impact weather; Multi-hazards. Closely linked to the users (civil security & disaster man. agencies). A collaborative approach for sustainable operations & systems; Built on operational structures. Other hazards: a lot of commonalities. Let’s avoid collective failures!

6. The weather process From observation to service; Explore & analyse the whole NMS chain. Nothing without numerical modeling data assimilation computers (efficiency…) Nothing without telecom real time management Nothing without observation in situ & remote sensing Take advantage & don’t re-invent the wheel… Nothing without expertise before service customer adapted (needs & constraints)

8. Similar tools/needs (& traps!) And people & facilities to run them (& fundings!) Training & capacity building, formats & protocols, telecommunications, guidance, computer & IT know-how, H24D365 organization, products & products delivery, associated service, & efficiency of the message!

9. Don’t wait for the tragedy… How to drive agencies (& people) to meet? Our duty! Quest for coherency… at home… between WMO commissions… in the global UN system & with funding agencies!
