The true scale of the horror unfolding in Iran this past week, carried out by the regime, is beyond what anyone could imagine. We need help. #IranMassacre

🚨 New paper in Nature @CommsEarth! 🔗shorturl.at/AwV8J We show how hybrid continental models (@SMHI E-HYPE + #AI) improve local streamflow predictions across Europe—boosting operational potential for services like @CopernicusEMS & #HydroSOS @WMO.

HEPEX, a global community advancing hydrological forecasting, celebrated 20 years while being at AWI and @UA_CIROH! Dr. Ilias Pechlivanidis (@IPechlivanidis) shares why ensemble prediction matters in water science. 🎧 Listen now: alabamawater.libsyn.com/ep-23-hepex-wi… @hepexorg #AWIPodcast

🌍 New paper! We customize global hydrological models with local knowledge, data & Earth Observations to improve streamflow & evapotranspiration predictions at Lake Hume 🇦🇺 & Harsha Lake 🇺🇸. 📘 Read: doi.org/10.1016/j.ejrh… #LSHM #EO #WaterResources #OpenData #HEPEX

What happened in Tuscaloosa? 🌊☀️ In a new HEPEX blog, @IPechlivanidis recaps the 2025 workshop, shares impressions of Tuscaloosa, his appearance on the @AlabamaWater podcast, and more. Read here 👉 hepex.org.au/hepex-2025-wor… #HEPEX #WaterScience

Day 2 at #HEPEX: Another day of insightful discussions, hands-on learning, and building connections with the leading minds in the field 🚀🌍 #WaterResearch #Hydrology #CollaborationInAction #HEPEX2025 @hepexorg

🚨 No one should be caught off guard by a flood. At @WMO Stories on Water, I stressed that #flood warnings must be clear, personal & actionable to save lives. ⚠️ "Warnings must move beyond alerts to become actionable guidance." 🌊 Watch my 8-min talk: bit.ly/41eYtMl

🚨 HEPEX 2025 Workshop - Deadline Extended! 🚨 Due to high interest, the abstract submission deadline is now 7 Jan 2025. 💡 Share your ideas & research on hydrological forecasting! 👉 Submit here: shorturl.at/ztCkO 📍 See you in Tuscaloosa! 🌊 #HEPEX2025 #Hydrology #EW4All

🌊Paper alert 👉shorturl.at/pKeKS! Predicting river disharge with historical data & @ECMWF SEAS5 forecasts. Insights guide national hydrological #forecasting & stress the need for region-specific strategies to boost predictability via improved monitoring & meteo forcings.

Curious about #floods? The 131 experts attending the last EU Flood Awareness System (EFAS) meeting discussed: - EFAS v5.4 updates & roadmap for v6 - Satellite-based flood monitoring - Workshops on notifications & metrics - And more! See the full recap 👉 shorturl.at/XqiqJ

@EGU_HS @Mario_J_Franca @dValero_ @ArnauBayon @neoedui @BeniaminoRusso3 Very nice blog! I also believe it is time to make #flood alerts smarter, personal & truly life-saving! x.com/IPechlivanidis…

How does urban debris impact flood hazard? 🌊🏚 In our latest HS Division blog post, @Mario_J_Franca , @dValero_ , @ArnauBayon , @neoedui , and @BeniaminoRusso3 tackle the example of the recent severe floods in #Valencia. 👇#hydrology #valenciafloods bit.ly/3Avisf9

Just few days ago at the @CopernicusEMS #EFAS Meeting, the life-saving role of #EarlyWarnings was stressed. The recent #floods in #Valencia show why we need stronger, more personal alerts to keep communities safe. We can’t let another #DANA become a disaster. #EW4All #Resilience

This year's #EFAS Annual Meeting @SMHI united 130 participants to discuss Europe’s #flood events and the impact of #EarlyWarnings in #DisasterRiskReduction. We remain dedicated to hydrological forecasting to protect communities & strengthen resilience. #EW4All #HEPEX #StormBoris

#DYK that our #EFAS is featured in the 2nd edition of Flood Forecasting: A Global Perspective❓ The chapter provides an overview of EFAS version 5, which serves as a key resource for system users and #flood forecasting researchers 🌊 Read more at👇 european-flood.emergency.copernicus.eu/en/news/new-bo…

📢 NEW DROUGHT RESEARCH! ✨ Is #Europe #drought Prepared?🌍 @DitA_network latest study shows why preparedness is key in Drought Risk Management and why we need a #EC_Drought_Directive 🇪🇺 Check out the preprint & share your thoughts!💭 Preprint: egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2024…

💧 The overwhelming majority of disasters are water-related, so water management and monitoring are at the heart of the global #EarlyWarningsForAll initiative. 🔗 wmo.int/publication-se…

#EMSR747 Our #MappingTeam has been activated to monitor another wildfire in #Greece 🇬🇷 This #wildfire🔥 is affecting the Central Macedonia region, northeast of Serres #Σέρρες Updates coming soon at👇 rapidmapping.emergency.copernicus.eu/EMSR747/

📢Our 2023 Global Flood Monitoring Annual Report is now available❗️ This report examines the thematic accuracy of the #GFM output layers, focusing on 12 use cases selected from significant flood events between 2017 and 2023🌊 Read the full report at👇 op.europa.eu/en/publication…

Earlier this year, the European Flood Awareness System #EFAS partners shared their ideas and feedback on the service 💻 The results of the survey showed that: ➡️EFAS performance and forecast skills are rated as high or very high Read more at👇 european-flood.emergency.copernicus.eu/en/news/efas-p…
