Improving forecast information for humanitarian crises

Improving forecast information for humanitarian crises

This project is a collaboration with the Start Network, a group of humanitarian organisations.  We are working together to support anticipatory humanitarian action in advance of a crisis, based on information from weather forecasts (where available).  The first case studies are heatwave in Pakistan and cyclone in the Philippines.
