MEDEWSA – Mediterranean and pan-European forecast and Early Warning System against natural hazards

MEDEWSA project aims to improve impact forecasting and early warning systems across the European-Mediterranean-African region using novel tools such as AI. Coordinated by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), it will establish four twins (eight pilot sites), each with a history of being impacted by natural hazards or extreme events.
MEDEWSA with its central role in the UN Early Warnings for All initiative has the goal to ensure that everyone is protected from hazardous weather, water or climate events through early warning systems by the end of 2027.
