HEPEX is a community of researchers and practitioners for hydrologic ensemble prediction. It is a community initiative with many people contributing and working on specific topics related to hydrological forecasting and hydrometeorological ensemble prediction.
HEPEX (for Hydrologic Ensemble Prediction EXperiment) seeks to advance the science and practice of hydrologic ensemble prediction and its usage for risk-based decision making by engaging in several ongoing activities, including:
- organizing scientific exchange between participants through workshops and sessions or meetings at major conferences,
- planning and coordinating experiments or testbeds,
- highlighting operational or experimental real-time examples or cases of hydrologic ensemble prediction systems (HEPS) to help practitioners find out about how ensemble prediction is being used around the world for various applications,
- maintaining online community interaction and HEPS-related resources via its website.
Participation in HEPEX is open to anyone wishing to contribute to its objectives. Individuals interested in becoming involved in HEPEX can do so through participation in its activities. HEPEX has four co-chairs and several regional chairs that help in keeping the community linked.
HEPEX is an unfunded/volunteer effort since 2004.
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.
