<p> <b>An up-to-date discussion of the latest in weather-related event forecasting and management</b> <p> In <i>Responding to Extreme Weather Events</i>, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a timely and authoritative exploration of three international extreme weather projects: ANYWHERE, I-REACT, and BeAWARE. The key contributions from policymaking, science, and industry in each project are discussed, as are the resulting improved measures and technologies for forecasting and managing weather-related extreme events. <p>The authors cover the entire crisis management cycle, from awareness and early warning to effective responses to extreme weather events. Readers will also find: <ul><li>A thorough introduction to the science and policy background of managing extreme weather events </li><li>Comprehensive explorations of impact forecasting for extreme weather events, including discussion of the ANYWHERE project </li><li>Practical discussions of how to improve resilience to weather-related emergencies with advanced cyber technologies, including discussion of the I-REACT project </li><li>A novel framework for crisis management during extreme weather events, including discussion of the BeAWARE project</li></ul> <p>Essential for disaster management professionals, <i>Responding to Extreme Weather Events </i>will also benefit academic staff and researchers with an interest in extreme weather events and their consequences.
