Flood Risk Knowledge
SLAPIS SAHELProject From flood mapping to informed action An effective Early Warning System must do more than forecast rising water levels. It must also identify what may be affected, where the most serious impacts may occur and which actions should be taken. Within SLAPIS Sahel, flood risk assesment is developed for the Sirba River basin […]
Co-producing a Transboundary Flood Early Warning System
SLAPIS SAHEL Project Working together across borders to protect communities at risk Floods do not stop at national borders. Along the Sirba River, which flows from Burkina Faso into Niger before joining the Niger River, flood waves generated upstream can threaten downstream communities hundreds of kilometres away. Effective flood early warning therefore requires not only […]
Competences co-development
SLAPIS SAHEL PROJECT Building operational forecasting capacity through long-term institutional collaboration Early warning systems are based on weather forecasts, numerical models, data platforms and technological innovation. Yet experience shows that technology alone is not enough. The effectiveness and sustainability of early warning services ultimately depend on the ability of institutions to operate, assess, adapt and […]
Slapis Sahel Numerical Weather Prediction
SLAPIS SAHELProject Numerical Weather Predictionin SLAPIS Sahel One of the key objectives of the SLAPIS Sahel project is to strengthen national capacities in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) as a support for hydrological early warning, particularly for flash floods and flooding events along the Sirba River and the Niger River. The national meteorological agencies of Niger […]
