Dewetra

Short Name: Dewetra3

Long Name: myDEWETRA World

Platform Type: web-based GIS application

Usage: Real-time multi hazard risk assessment and monitoring, multi-hazard forecasts, impact-based early warning

Background: myDEWETRA.world is an open-source web-based system for real-time monitoring and forecasting of natural hazards like heavy rains, floods, droughts, landslides, and wildfires. The application is designed to be a single point of access to a wealth of information and data available at global, regional and local scale, provided by multiple authoritative institutions and agencies. The platform can incorporate and organize the information and data produced by many hydrological or hydraulic models implemented in a defined area or basin, aimed to assess the effects of a possible event. myDEWETRA.world is developed between the Italian Civil Protection Department and CIMA Foundation – International Centre for Environmental Monitoring. It is subject of an Agreement among the Italian Department of Civil Protection and the World Meteorological Organization and is available to every country under request.
