[Pak-Media] PRESS RELEASE: WFP SUPPORTS PAKISTAN METEOROLOGICAL DEPARTMENT FOR EFFECTIVE EARLY WARNING

 

Dear Media Colleagues,

For your information and kind action. Should you have any query, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,

Amjad




WFP News Release

5 August 2011

WFP SUPPORTS PAKISTAN METEOROLOGICAL DEPARTMENT FOR EFFECTIVE EARLY WARNING

Islamabad – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) have today launched a joint initiative designed to improve the country's natural disaster early warning system.

WFP Pakistan Acting Country Director Mageed Yahia and Director General PMD Arif Mahmood signed a Letter of Agreement on behalf of their respective organizations. The event was also attended by senior officials from the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), WFP, and PMD.

The  Letter  of  Agreement  defines  the  joint  efforts  of WFP and PMD to establish a system  to  improve  the dissemination  of  relevant  and  useful information for farmers and others threatened by weather-related shocks and other natural disasters.

"Pakistan has faced over 150 major natural disasters in the last 65 years, primarily caused by floods, earthquakes, cyclones and drought," said Mageed. "In this scenario, it is imperative that we have an early warning system of the highest possible calibre. Early warnings save lives and protect livelihoods."

Under the collaboration, media awareness workshops will be conducted on early warning best practice and the strengthening early warning messages through radio programming. WFP will also work with PMD to expand the existing Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) to Tharparkar and DI Khan for better validation of community-based early warning, and to strengthen the weather data retrieval system by providing GPRS sets through which the 40+ automatic weather systems installed throughout the country would become more efficient and cost effective in terms of retrieving weather information and correctly and swiftly transmitting it to Met dept headquarters for onward dissemination to provinces and districts.

The project will be jointly implemented by WFP and PMD, with PMD's Islamabad office taking a lead role in implementation.  The Letter of Agreement will remain in force until 31 December 2011.

"The system exists in order to get out timely and authoritative warnings. WFP is committed to improving early warnings wherever possible, and providing all necessary support to PMD and we are open to support new initiatives in future." Mageed Yahia said.

There has been some progress in forecasting cyclones and floods in Pakistan in recent years, while mitigation activities are underway to avert devastation as a result of earthquakes. Drought analysis and monitoring has been carried out on regular basis since 2002, and fortnightly advisories are available to guide short-term interventions in the farming sector.

However, an analysis of the early warning best practices globally has shown that the benefits of scientific advances cannot be fully realised without the effective and timely dissemination of information and warnings. The involvement of the media is also essential in ensuring the optimal effectiveness of early warning systems.  

#                              #                                 #

WFP is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide.

In 2011, WFP aims to feed more than 90 million people in 73 countries.

UNDP works on restoring livelihoods through job creation, repairing basic community infrastructures and services, and strengthening local government offices to get public services running again in over 1,400 villages.

For a detailed overview of the UNDP Early  Recovery programme please click here

 

 

The ER Programme is being executed through an extensive network around 38 implementing partners which include NGOs as well as government departments and agencies.

 

UNDP is also the Co-Chair of the Early Recovery Working Group along with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). In this capacity UNDP is supporting the effective coordination of the ER Activities at Federal, Provincial and District levels involving relevant Government institutions, UN agencies and other humanitarian and development organizations.

 

UNDP’s Early Recovery Programme is one of the largest ER initiatives launched anywhere in the world. UNDP Administrator Helen Clark had also visited Pakistan in February 2011 to view the ER activities. She stated “It is a privilege to be able to support people to rebuild their homes and livelihoods after those devastating floods. Much remains to be done. It is important to continue to support Pakistan’s recovery.”

 

UNDP Pakistan has engaged leading pop singer Hadiqa Kiani and international tennis star Aisam ul Haq as National Goodwill Ambassadors for Early Recovery who advocate for continued support for early recovery through their media engagements within and outside Pakistan.
