The project aimed at strengthening multi-hazard risk assessment and early warning systems of Pacific Island Countries (PICs) by enhancing the capacities of responsible agencies/institutes through
- Capacity building on geo-spatial technologies, Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) modelling and early warning through Common Alerting Protocol (CAP)
- Deploying geospatial data sharing platforms for disaster risk management (Geo-DRMs) in the Pacific region; and
- Operationalizing if Numerical Weather Prediction model called WRF.
