Armenia's Armhydromet Joins European Multi-Hazard Early Warning System

The "Hydrometeorology and Monitoring Center" SNCO (Armhydromet) has officially joined the South-East European Multi-Hazard Early Warning Advisory System (SEE-MHEWS-A), which unites the national hydrometeorological services of 20 countries.

Armenia's membership became possible with the consent of all member countries of the system, which testifies to the high level of regional trust and the environment of effective cooperation.

The system operates under the leadership of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and with the scientific and technical support of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The WMO coordinates the cooperation and capacity building of the participating countries, ensuring the strategic management of the program and its coordination at the regional level.

Armenia's membership in the SEE-MHEWS-A system is an important step towards strengthening the country's resilience to climate risks and natural hazards. The system enables Armhydromet to apply modern numerical prediction models, participate in regional training and joint programs, as well as to introduce unified approaches in the field of forecasting and warning of dangerous hydrometeorological phenomena.

This membership is of strategic importance for Armenia: it opens up new opportunities for international cooperation, exchange of experience, and the development of hydrometeorological services, in line with the "Early Warnings for All" (EW4ALL) global initiative.
