We have made a lot of progress since we began in 2017 in the region. The main progresses so far have been that more and more hazards are being addressed with AA protocols: typhoons/cyclones, floods, drought, heatwaves, landslides, epidemics and cold waves.
We have also seen Impact Based Forecasting (IBF) in the Philippines for typhoons and floods in Pakistan. These protocols have been tested while others are undergoing testing.
So going forward, we are collecting ideas and thoughts on how to scale up AA in the region.
