- 13. DRR INITIATIVES BY KMD
- 14. The role of NMHS • Weather Monitoring • Weather Forecasting • Climate prediction • Early warnings • Weather and climate Advisories • Food security and sectoral advisories • Climate Change Detection and attribution • Research and outreach programmes
- 15. Generate weather products • Now casting (6 hrs ahead) • Weather Forecasts • 24 hrs,4 days,7 days,14 days,1 month & Seasonal • Climate outlook forums • Specialized forecasts; – Aviation – Meteorology – Marine - Meteorology – Agriculture – Agro meteorology – Food security – Agro/FeWS – Water resources – Hydrometeorology – Energy - Water resources – Disaster management – Early warnings – Health and other sectors – Biometeorology
- 16. Other duties and responsibilities NMHS 1. Establishment and maintenance of a national meteorological observation network mandatory for weather and climate observations 2. Monitoring, detection and prediction of weather and climate phenomena and dissemination of relevant products and early warnings; 3. Monitoring environmental pollution and Greenhouse Gases, including ozone 4. Exchange and transmission of meteorological data nationally, regional and internationally; 5. Carrying out meteorological training and research to improve the quality of meteorological services 6. Archival of long-term reliable national climatologically records 7. International mandates (WMO, ICAO, UNFCCC, IPCC, …)
- 17. Current initiative by KMD • 5 Weather radars – Precipitation • Hydromet division – early warning in floods • Disaster Prevention and Mitigation • EWS for flood management (OP, MoWI) using Automatic Hydromet stations • RANET (Bundalangi, Suswa, Kangema, Mtwapa) • Improvement of station networks and AWS (Automatic Weather Stations) • National Tsunami Early Warning Centre (NTEWC) • Provincial Directors of meteorology
- 18. Marine weather station at Mombasa
- 19. Others initiatives • 12 Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) at strategic locations • 12 Automatic hydro-meteorological stations • 2 Automatic Weather Observing Stations (AWOS) for Airports (JKIA and MIA) • 5 Weather Radars (250 Kilometre effective Doppler Range) are being installed. • 1 Upper Air Stations (Radio-sonde Stations) has been upgraded • 3 Lightning Detection Systems have been installed to cover the whole country • 2 Seismic equipment for Earth quakes – Voi, Lodwar • 35 Drifting Buoys already deployed in Western Indian Ocean • 1 Marine Automatic Weather Stations (MAWS) • Created local, regional, and international partnerships
- 20. Way forward in reduce vulnerability • Home grown and community centered climate adaptation measures • Integration of Seasonal Climate forecasts and indigenous knowledge for effective early warning • Piloting on the ground through demonstration, experimental plots (Cropping patterns, shifting seasons…. etc. • Knowledge management and effective communication system of weather and climate products etc • Management of risks through Identification, structural and non-structural risk reduction, and risk transfer and financing mechanisms • Managing the whole disaster cycle (The hidden success, the check list)
- 22. THE END MANY THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION
