  34. Executive Summary

  35. Executive Summary • A Survey was conducted to identify challenges and future priorities in RA V by using the SurveyMonkey platform. • Analysis has been made for the Region in five categories: • (a) institutional arrangements; • (b) management and organization; • (c) operations and services; • (d) challenges and priorities; and • (e) expected outcomes from RA V-16

  36. Executive Summary • Institutional Arrangements The most common title of NMHS in RA V is “Service” or “Agency” Thirteen Members are functioning under different primary legislative acts or orders of decree - six Members are still functioning without legal authorities • Management and Organization The business model of NMHSs in RA V is predominantly government or state owned that strictly confined to the government policy, guidance and budgetary support with little freedom to do commercial activities. Almost all Members except for one Member have national development/strategic plans covering the next 3-5 years. The capacity building of staff and enhancement of operational forecasts including warning products with improved IT services are priorities of development/strategic plans.

  37. Executive Summary (RA V) • Operations and Services The Members are facing difficulties with: inadequacy of equipment and IT infrastructure; automation of surface observing networks; agro-meteorological observations; and upper-air observations. • Challenges and Priorities The challenges in the Region identified by the survey include: lack of qualified personnel; NWP modeling capacity; observing systems; and EWS services for DRR, among others. The Members particularly identified: adequacy of NWP modeling capacity; lack of qualified personnel; and adequacy of EWS and services for DRR, as serious challenges.
