InPRHA is a core project within the World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). It operates under the overarching guidance of the WWRP Scientific Steering Committee (WWRP SCC).
InPRHA is a research project aimed at integrating advanced forecasting systems into early warning and action mechanisms to enhance resilience to natural and societal hazards. This project leverages multidisciplinary approaches, including meteorological, hydrological, and social sciences, to bridge the gap between prediction and early action. The project website is hosted by the International Coordination Office, supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States of America.

It is anticipated that InPRHA’s work will result in expanded research and knowledge about the development of multi-hazard forecasting systems for early flood warning (minutes to days) that integrate hydrology and meteorology, and that are informed by social science approaches to identifying user needs for data and information delivery and communication.
At the project’s end, we expect a lasting collection of research and case studies available for future use by researchers, as well as guidance for the research and operational community on good practices for integration of hydrology, meteorology and social science knowledge.
An article detailing InPRHA’s mission and purpose was published in the May 2025 issue of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. The journal article, written by members of the InPRHA working group, is divided into five sections: Introduction, motivations and major issues Key scientific questions, outlining seven thematic areas Mission statement, goals, and objectives…
