Towards the “Perfect” Weather Warning
We outline the objectives of the book, setting them in the context of
disaster risk management in a changing world and introducing the role of warnings
in mitigating weather-related disasters. We describe the warning value chain, linking the needs of the decision-maker with forecasting capability; identify the blockages where information is lost, which we call the “valleys of death”; and introduce
partnership as the core theme of the book. We then summarise the structure of the
book and of each chapter, concluding by emphasising the importance of having a
governance framework to monitor performance, inform troubleshooting and determine investment.
