Our Next Steps
•Information sharing across agencies and countries
–Work with the weather and climate communities to better understand the emerging changes
•Capture the state-of-the-practice
•Conduct gap analyses
–Technical capabilities
–Institutional capabilities
•Explore more formal ways to incorporate risk and uncertainty
Conclusions:
•Impacts are going to manifest both due to specific weather events/phenomena but also long term trends in air temperature.
•The link between weather events and climate is not simplistic but recent severe weather events point to the challenges posed to operations.
•The scale, frequency, intensity of events will change how operation agencies are organized and function in the country
