CEMS provides information for emergency response in relation to differen=
t types of disasters, including meteorological hazards, geophysical hazards, deliberate and accidental man-m=
ade disasters and other humanitarian disasters as well as =
prevention, preparedness, response and recovery activities.
Four modules constitute the Copernicus EMS:
ECMWF is the computational centre for EFAS, GloFAS and EFFIS.
Here you will find information on some of the products we have been deve= loping for the CEMS
ECMWF contributes to the Copernicus = Emergency Management Service (CEMS), in particular the early warning system= s for flood and fire danger.
The Copernicus Emergency Management Service provides information for eme= rgency response in relation to different types of disasters, including mete= orological hazards, geophysical hazards, deliberate and accidental man-made= disasters and other humanitarian disasters as well as prevention, prepared= ness, response and recovery activities. ECMWF contributes to early warning = systems for flood awareness and forest fire information.
The European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) became operational in 2012 an= d several European organisations are responsible for producing and providin= g the flood information. It provides pan-European overview maps of flo= od probabilities up to 15 days in advance, seasonal streamflow outlooks up = to 4 months ahead, and flash-flood risk.
ECMWF runs the computational centre for EFAS, with responsibility for ru= nning the forecasts, post-processing, and hosting the EFAS information syst= em platform.
We also run and manage the Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS), which= became a fully operational 24/7 service in 2018.
At the end of 2017, ECMWF became the computational centre for the Copern= icus Emergency Management Service - Fire. This activity is undertaken in co= llaboration with M=C3=A9t=C3=A9o=E2=80=90France.
ECMWF provides fire danger calculations from high-resolution and ensembl= e forecasts up to 15 days ahead on a daily basis. The data feeds into the E= uropean Forest Fire information System (EFFIS) . Twice a week and every mon= th we also provide temperature and precipitation anomalies from the extende= d-range and seasonal system.
EFFIS was established to support the national authorities responsible fo= r management of forest fires in the European Union and neighbouring countri= es, as well as to provide the European Commission and the European Parliame= nt with reliable information on trends associated with these incidents.
