The Regional Integrated Multi-Hazard Early Warning System for Africa and Asia (RIMES)

Attn: Dusadee Padungkul, Head, Operational Support Department

2nd Floor, Outreach Building, Asian Institute of Technology Campus,

Klong Nung, Klong Luang, Pathumthani 12120, Thailand

  1. About RIMES

 The Regional Integrated Multi-Hazard Early Warning System for Africa and Asia (RIMES) is an international and intergovernmental institution that is owned and managed by its 48 Member and Collaborating States for building capacities in the generation and application of user-relevant multi-hazard early warning information, for resources and risks management. RIMES was established on 30 April 2009 through the signing by collaborating countries of the RIMES regional cooperation agreement.  RIMES was registered with the United Nations under Article 102 of the UN Charter on 1 July 2009.  RIMES Headquarters operates from its regional early warning center, located at the campus of the Asian Institute of Technology in Pathumthani, Thailand.

 RIMES’ purpose is to provide early warning services according to differing needs and demands of its Member States, for enhanced preparedness and response to, and mitigation of, natural hazards.  Its specific objectives are:

  1. Facilitate the establishment and maintenance of core regional observing and monitoring networks to ensure data availability for early warning;
  2. Provide earthquake and tsunami services within the framework of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (IOC-UNESCO);
  3. Support National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) for providing localized hydro-meteorological risk information within the framework of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO); and
  4. Enhance warning response capacities at all levels (national to community) within each national early warning framework.

 RIMES provides a portfolio of options for Member States to avail from, or contribute to, any of these objectives.

  1. Background

RIMES’ end-to-end approach capacitates institutions and communities in its Member States and Collaborating Countries across the 5 distinct but inter-connected components of the early warning/climate information value chain:

1) Improving data availability: enhancing observation and monitoring systems for generating data, and facilitating seamless integration of data into a platform that can be easily accessed and used by various National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs).

2) Modelling and forecasting: enhancing forecast skill, and forecast spatial and temporal resolutions, as required by stakeholders.

3) Transforming data into information: co-production of services between NMHSs and sectoral institutions for impact-based forecasting, including, but not limited to, the development of decision support systems (DSSs) for various sectors

4) Tailor made services to deliver user specific information for resources and risks management: user requirements, assessed via the Monsoon Forum/Climate Application Forum process, and user needs assessment activities, serve as basis for evolving/designing and delivering early warning/risk information products

5) Community outreach: ensuring that customized early warning/climate information products reach communities through effective communication channels, and training communities to enable them to undertake forecast/early warning/risk information-based anticipatory action and provide feedback.

RIMES designs and implements programs to address gaps in the 5 pillars of the early warning/multi-hazard information value chain per demands and needs of in-country stakeholder institutions like the NMHSs, National Disaster Management Organizations (NDMOs), and national agencies in hazard-sensitive sectors of water resources, agriculture,  infrastructure, policy and development planning, and public health, among others, by leveraging  support from development partners such as the World Bank, UNESCAP, UNEP (GCF), WFP, USAID, etc. RIMES maximizes impacts of support from development partners by holistically implementing capacity development interventions in countries such that support from development partners on one or two pillars of the early warning/climate information value chain are complemented by RIMES support to address countries’ needs and demands in other early warning/multi-hazard information value chain pillars. RIMES sustains capacity development intervention outcomes, post-projects, as required by the countries.

  1. Objective

The Epidemiologist will lead and support the development of public health models, health risk forecasts, and impact-based advisory products of RIMES’ components under the Global Climate Fund’s Enhancing Early Warning Systems to Build Greater Resilience to Hydro-meteorological Hazards in Timor-Leste Project.
