Continuous training process in Impact-based forecast and alerts

Hi all,

I am interested in knowing more about impact-based-forecasting training experiences, so these are my trigger questions:  

1) Do you know about other courses about impact-based-forecast capacity building?

2) In which themes related to impact-based-forecast do you think there is a need of capacity building?

3) Which learning strategies do you suggest for forecasters to be able to add the impact dimension in their work routine in a gradual way? 

I look forward for your answers!

Regards,

Carolina.

Hi Carolina,
COMET has created a series of online lessons about impact-based forecast and warning services. The lessons and simulations include building partnerships, communicating risk, identifying hazards, constructing impact tables, and analyzing risk. We are continuing to create new simulations and will add them as they become available. You can take a look at the series here:https://www.meted.ucar.edu/education_training/courses/92

There are also simulations for determining and communicating risk from specific events like tropical cyclones in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Links to the two simulations are below:
Communicating Typhoon Risks in Taiwan (English and Traditional Chinese)
Communicating  Hazards and Impacts During Extratropical Transition

It will be great to collaborate on other projects in the future!

Cheers,
Tsvet

Hi Tsvet!

Thank you very much for your contribution! I know about COMET lessons, and it is a great new that there will be new simulations! In addition, there is also the following WMO IBFWS Introductory course: https://etrp.wmo.int/course/view.php?id=253.

In relation to your comment about the simulations for communicating risk in specific events, such as tropical cyclones, and regarding to my second question, maybe we can think about other specific events to create other simulations about risk communication, what do you think?.

It would be a pleasure working together in this thematic!

Thank you!
Regards,
Carolina.

Thank you for sharing the WMO IBFWS course!

We can definitely create communication simulations for other weather hazards. What do you have in mind?

Thanks,
Tsvet

Maybe heatwaves, or strong winds and heavy rain related to other systems...

Thanks!
Carolina.

Thank you Carolina! We can look for opportunities to create training for heatwaves, heavy rains. The EUMETCAL program is working on an impact-based e-learning for strong winds.
Thanks,
Tsvet

Hi Tsvet!
Thank you. RTC SMN Arg can collaborate on these ideas :)

Thank you Romina! I will add you to the list of future collaborators.

If you are interested in providing us feedback on a new lesson, you can review this simulation on the forecasting and communication of storm surge. It asks learners to make decisions using a risk matrix and communicate them. You can leave us comments on every screen if you add your email.

Do not worry about it if you don't have time.

Thanks,
Tsvet

Hi Tsvet,
I am in early development phase of Impact-based forecast over West Java Indonesia.
Thank you very much for sharing the link, since I am looking for this kind IBFWS practical session/training before, so excited to try this simulation.

Hi Carolina,
Impact-based forecast for me is a new paradigm, and based on my experience with my implementation in West Java Indonesia, as meteoroligist I need more gaining capacity building in Risk Communication to build the Trust among all parties (Early warning producer and receiver).

I try to share about my implementation in my material at Group 5, kindly check it and please give the feedback.
