Violent Weather - Forecasting and informing
Document Actions
The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) provides warnings regarding violent weather, snow, heavy rain, storm surges, road weather and other important weather related topics.
Greenhouse-effects or not – the weather is more wet and windy than it was 30 years ago. The infrastructure is more vulnerable and the general civilization as well.
Preliminary knowledge of weather happenings is so important in relation to emergency deployment, allocation and resource-management. The forecasting is one segment, - the form and structure of information is another. What is violent weather ? – Definitions are presented.
Who is warned – and how ? How is the information given to the public.
Road weather is highly prioritized in Denmark. Supervision, prevention and proper deployment is key words and the web-based system “VejVejr” is the basic tool. The system will be shown. These are the topics of the intervention.
