IbFW is a structured approach for combining hazard, exposure, and vulnerability data to identify risk and support decision-making, with the ultimate objective of encouraging early action that reduces damages and loss of life from natural hazards.
IbFW provides the information needed to minimize the socio-economic costs of weather and climate hazards. Organizations and individuals can make critical decisions to ensure that resources and supplies are in place to take early action and to respond as soon as it is safe to do so.
This ‘Decision Support System for Impact-based Forecast and Warning’ is developed through URBAN RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE EXTREMES IN SOUTHEAST ASIA (URCE) PROGRAM
Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) with the support from Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) implement a program titled “Urban Resilience to Climate Extremes in Southeast Asia (URCE)”. The program goal is to build ‘resilient communities in deltaic and coastal urban areas’ and strengthening resilience of the urban systems and urban communities to the current and emerging climate extremes, disasters and emergencies that are anticipated in the deltaic and coastal cities in Southeast Asia. The program is being implemented in My Tho City Viet Nam and also actively promote learning and exchange with other countries in Asia and the Pacific through several regional level endeavors under the program. The program started its inception phase (from 1st November 2018) for setting up implementation arrangements of the program activities in the two targeted Southeast Asian countries namely Myanmar and Viet Nam as well as making necessary refinement needed for the program implementation; and building regional level learning and exchanges in Southeast Asian countries. The five-year program timing is from 1st November 2018 to 31st October 2023.
