Abstract
National meteorological and hydrological services (NMHSs) provide severe weather warning information to inform decision-making by emergency management (EM) services and to allow communities to take defensive and mitigation action prior to and during severe weather events. Globally, warning information issued by NMHSs varies widely from solely hazard-based to impact-based forecasting encompassing the exposure and vulnerability of communities to severe weather. The most advanced of these systems explicitly and quantitatively model the impacts of hazards on sectors of interest. Incorporating impact information into severe weather warnings contextualises and personalises the warning information, increasing the likelihood that individuals and communities will take preparatory action. This paper reviews a selection of current efforts towards severe weather warnings and impact forecasting capabilities globally and highlights uncertainties that currently limit forecasts and modelling of multi-hazard events.
