WMO Strategic Priorities in DRR
Approved by WMO Congress XVI (2011)
• Providing data, analysis and hazard information for risk
assessment, sectoral planning, risk financing and transfer and
other informed decision-making;
• Development, improvement and sustainability of Multi-Hazard
early warning systems;
• Development and delivery of warnings, specialized forecasts
driven by requirements in socio-economic sectors;
• Better integration of meteorological, hydrological and climate
information in risk management in socio economic sectors (e.g.,
land use planning and infrastructure design),
• Continued public education and outreach campaigns; and,

About the Workshop
Agenda – Session 2
• Issues for discussions:
1) Diversity of disaster risk assessment and analysis stakeholders and their needs
(local, national, regional, global, sectoral, etc) to support a diverse range of
DRR related decisions.
2) Definitions of hazards and related cascading hazards from risk assessment and
analysis perspectives versus meteorological, hydrological and climate
perspectives.
3) Importance of hazard definition, data, metadata, analysis and mapping for
collection of loss and damage data, risk assessment and risk analysis.
4) Needs and requirements of stakeholders that carry out risk assessment and risk
analysis for hazard data, metadata, hazard analysis (historical versus forward
looking).
5) Challenges with quality, availability, accessibility of hazard information at
national, regional and global levels for risk assessment and risk analysis.
© World Meteorological Organization
About the Workshop
Agenda – Session 3
• Issues for discussions:
1) Definitions of hazards (and related cascading hazards) in your country, (from the list provided in the
questionnaire) Are there common definitions across the countries represented here? Are the
definitions of hazards establish through legal instruments or remain at the discretion of technical
agencies?
2) Institutional Aspects: Hazard Types (I, II, IIII) and roles of various agencies in monitoring, detection
and maintenance of historical databases, metadata.
3) Institutional cooperation and partnerships among technical agencies for monitoring, detection,
collection and development of databases and metadata. (space and in-situ).
4) Practices with development of integrated hazard databases, data management systems, metadata and
quality assurance practices for Hazards Type I, II, III.
5) Practices for cooperation with other technical and sectoral agencies to provide hazard data for
sectoral and other risk assessment and risk analysis to sectors (services for public and private
sector).
6) Challenges in developing and providing systematic hazard information at national level.
7) Latest techniques for hazard analysis (statistical, now-casting and forecasting (short-weather to longterm climate time scales, spatial resolution and downscaling aspects)?
8) Implications of climate variability and climate change for operational hazard analysis.
9) Service delivery models for provision of hazard data, meta data and analysis and advisory services.
© World Meteorological Organization
About the Workshop
Agenda – Session 4
•
Issues for discussions:
1) Mandate
of Technical Commission related to the priority hazards (listed in the questionnaire for the
TCs), development of definition, guidelines, manuals and standards for observing networks,
historical and real-time data management systems (data, metadata, quality assurance practices),
statistical analysis, now–casting and forecasting and projections in context of climate scenarios for
hazards (short weather to long-term climate time lead times)?
2) What are the relevant activities of your Technical Commissions work plan to development of
guidelines, manuals and standards related to the above issues (issue 1)
3) Definition on hazards developed by the Technical Commissions
4) Are there a list of existing guidelines, manuals and standards relevant to the objectives of this
initiative developed in your commission, for what specific application (research, forecasting)?
5) Through what process you identify needs and requirements of new users (in this case the risk
assessment and risk analysis community) to guide development of guidelines, manuals and standards
in your commission?
6) What are the intra- and inter-commission mechanisms for development of guidelines, manuals and
standards that are relevant to the objectives of this initiative?
7) Are the experts with hand-on experience in disaster risk assessment and risk analysis engaged in your
Technical Commissions? To what extend you have already, or can engage new representatives from
the user community (in this case experts from risk community) in the process of identification of
requirements?

About the Workshop
Agenda – Session6 and 7
Issues for discussions (Session 6):
•
Building on the priorities, needs and requirements for hazard information to support risk
assessment and risk analysis, practices of Members and current work plan and activities
of the Technical Commissions, develop recommendations for priority of actions to be
carried out through intra- and inter-commission working arrangements with this target
users community to develop the missing guidelines, manuals and standards with
deliverables and timelines for this year based on what is available for the TCs, and then
in 2, 4, and 6 years timeframes (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019).
Issues for discussions (Session 7): Recommendations for:
• Priority Hazards and related cascading hazards
• Deliverables and timelines regarding development of hazard definition, and guidelines,
manuals and standards for hazard monitoring, detection, historical and real-time
databases, metadata, mapping, analysis, now-casting, forecasting techniques (short-term
to long-term climate timeframes)
• Needs for strengthening intra-, and inter-commission mechanisms to address these issues
• How to engage the risk assessment and risk analysis experts in the TC working
arrangements
• Other considerations and issues
