Mission

European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts is an intergovernmental organisation supported by 34 States providing operational medium- and extended-range forecasts and a state-of-the-art super-computing facility for scientific research. This organisation pursue scientific and technical collaboration with satellite agencies and with the European Commission.

The organization has no registered commitments.

The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.

Wildfires – a hazard like no other

Forecasting wildfires is difficult as they depend entirely on the source of ignition, which can be triggered by a number of factors including natural causes and human behaviour. Wildfire prediction systems, used in forest management, are designed to highlight weather conditions favourable to burning, rather than attempting to predict ignition itself.
