Strengthening Hydromet and Multi-hazard Early Warning Services in Uzbekistan : A Road Map

The road map presents a potential pathway to strengthen Uzbekistan's national hydrometeorological (hydromet) and multi-hazard early warning systems and services, based on the needs of the user community. It is based on a technical evaluation and assessment of the needs and capacities of Uzhydromet which, as the main service provider in Uzbekistan, issues meteorological and hydrological information, forecasts and warnings. This road map identifies gaps and challenges in the production and delivery of weather, climate, and hydrological information and services, and proposes a strategy for improving the country's institutional capacity in support of saving lives, protecting property and livelihoods, and social and economic development
