RIMMA2025 : International Conference on Forecasting, Preparedness, Warning, and Response

/ January 28, 2024

Excerpt:  The conference will address open questions about user-centered information management, visualization of uncertainties, and the economic and humanitarian impacts of natural hazards, alongside topics such as system interoperability, process standardization, and early warning distribution channels. 

Submission Deadline for abstracts and papers extended to 29 September 2024

The RIMMA conference, held for the first time in Bern, Switzerland, focuses on integrated management of natural hazards and risks, where information and warnings play a crucial role. Effective warnings enhance preparedness and complement forecasts and emergency planning. Real-time data and warnings must be accessible, understandable, and tailored to different user groups. Impact-based warnings require collaboration between meteorological services, warning services, and user groups.
