Lignes directrices pour la mise en oeuvre d’un système d’alerte précoce pour la prévision des inondations côtières (OMM-N° 1293)
This publication, Guidelines on Implementation of a Coastal Inundation Forecasting - Early Warning System (CIF-EWS) is the result of a resolution of the World Meteorological Congress 18 (2019) to assist vulnerable countries to implement their own CIF-EWS. These Guidelines are based on the successful implementation of demonstration systems in four countries between 2009 and 2019 through the Coastal Inundation Forecasting Demonstration Project (CIFDP) (Swail et al., 2019). Additionally, these Guidelines can be used as a valuable planning tool for coastal zone management, in order to build resili ...

Directrices para la implementación de avisos climáticos (OMM-N° 1299)
This document provides guidelines on the implementation of Climate Watches. It responds to the need for provision of a more practical and easy approach for better understanding each element of the Climate Watch System, particularly the user aspects and their engagement. These guidelines are fundamental for, and aim to support the implementation of Climate Watches at national scales, and thereby, aim to enhance science-based decision making and countermeasures against extreme weather/climate event and anomalous state of climate in changing climate.
