Vahe Davtyan, Deputy Minister of Environment of the RA, met with Sari Lappi, Coordinator of the WMO Regional Office for Europe.
During the meeting, the sides discussed Armenia’s opportunities and priorities within the framework of the Early Warnings for All (EW4ALL) initiative.
It was emphasized that the “Armhydromet” SNCO of the Ministry of Environment of the RA, is a key component of the national early warning system, responsible for monitoring, data collection, analysis and forecasting of hazardous hydrometeorological phenomena.
Armenia’s participation in regional and international platforms was also addressed. In recent years, Armenia has joined the South-Eastern European Multi-Hazard Early Warning Advisory System (SEE-MHEWS-A) and has launched the process of joining the European MeteoAlarm platform, which will enhance public awareness and access to warnings.
It was concluded that the measures implemented by Armenia, along with international cooperation aimed at strengthening the warning system and increasing the effectiveness of population protection, will contribute to bolstering the country’s national security and improving the targeted management of climate risks.
