En la Región IV (América del Norte, América Central y el Caribe) existe desde hace mucho tiempo una acción colectiva cuyo objetivo específico es proteger a las personas y los bienes contra los ciclones tropicales violentos, que reciben el nombre de huracanes en la Región. La séptima reunión de la Asociación Regional IV (Ciudad de México, abril-mayo de 1977) estableció un grupo de trabajo, denominado Comité de Huracanes de la Asociación Regional IV (AR IV), para promover dichas actividades en el marco del Programa sobre Ciclones Tropicales (denominado Proyecto sobre Ciclones Tropicales hasta la celebración del Octavo Congreso en 1979).
De conformidad con la petición del Comité de Huracanes, en este documento se pone a disposición de todos los interesados el Plan Operativo sobre Huracanes de la AR IV. En los próximos años se publicarán periódicamente nuevas ediciones y suplementos en los que se recogerán las novedades, actualizaciones y otros cambios que se produzcan en el Plan.Collection(s) and Series: OMM- No. 1163; PCT- No. 30

COPE Disaster Book Series
PPP Company Limited, Hong Kong ; Jesse Mariko; Keswick Martha; et al. - PPP Company Limited, Hong Kong, 2022What are natural hazards... and disasters? Forces of nature that happen with little warning and occur all over the world, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, landslides, tropical cyclones (and other storms), storm surges, heatwaves, wildfires, droughts and volcanoes.
When these natural hazards pose a threat to humans or the environment they can lead to disasters and cause destruction in a community.
What are storm surges? A sudden rise of water hitting areas close to the coast, usually created by a tropical cyclone, hurricane or other storms. The surge happens because ...

Drought and water scarcity – two major phenomena that challenge water security – know no national boundaries and affect all socioeconomic sectors of society, with a greater impact on the more vulnerable, poorer or marginalized populations.
Drought is a natural climatic feature of below-average precipitation, which can last for months or years, while water scarcity results from a long- ...

This publication, 1150 Part II follows WMO-No. 1150, Part I which was published in 2015. In the intervening years, as many NMHSs and their partner agencies developed impact-based forecast and warning services (IBFWS), understanding, experience and knowledge in this area has developed and grown significantly. The material presented in this “1150 Part II” seeks to distil and summarise that knowledge and to provide examples of good practices in IBFWS, illustrating and augmenting the insights contained in the original guidelines.
