RESPONDING TO EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS

An up-to-date discussion of the latest in weather-related event forecasting and management

In Responding to Extreme Weather Events, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a timely and authoritative exploration of three international extreme weather projects: ANYWHERE, I-REACT, and BeAWARE. The key contributions from policymaking, science, and industry in each project are discussed, as are the resulting improved measures and technologies for forecasting and managing weather-related extreme events.

The authors cover the entire crisis management cycle, from awareness and early warning to effective responses to extreme weather events. Readers will also find:

* A thorough introduction to the science and policy background of managing extreme weather events
* Comprehensive explorations of impact forecasting for extreme weather events, including discussion of the ANYWHERE project
* Practical discussions of how to improve resilience to weather-related emergencies with advanced cyber technologies, including discussion of the I-REACT project
* A novel framework for crisis management during extreme weather events, including discussion of the BeAWARE project

Essential for disaster management professionals, Responding to Extreme Weather Events will also benefit academic staff and researchers with an interest in extreme weather events and their consequences.
