In this document, we present the purpose and research plans of a new project, Integrating Prediction of PRecipitation and Hydrology for Early Actions (InPRHA), within the World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) World Weather Research Programme (WWRP). InPRHA operates under the overarching guidance of the WWRP Scientific Steering Committee and its project plan is aligned with the WWRP Implementation Plan, which is driven by the WMO strategy. The overarching aim of InPRHA is to advance the integration of precipitation forecasts, hydrology, and social science to achieve the condition in which “no one is surprised by a flood,” building on the goals of the WMO Vision and Strategy for Hydrology and its associated plan of action.
InPRHA's 2024 Project Plan
WWRP Programme Implementation Plan 2024 - 2027
Building on the guidance provided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the Sendai Framework, the WMO Strategic Plan 2024-2027, the call for Early Warning and Early Action for all in 5 years by the United Nations SecretaryGeneral, the WMO Regional Reform as well as the Research Board (RB), the WWRP will embrace a versatile scientific portfolio reflecting the needs of actors representing diverse constituencies.
