 Development of a hydromet portal is an initiative of the Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Project or DVRP. The online platform allows users to collect, archive, visualize and share hydrometeorological data, data that can forecast the amount of rain and its effect on specific areas. The new system would add support to the Water Resource Management Agency or WRMA and the St. Lucia Met Service. An improvement in risk mitigation in instances of storms and floods is one example. Met Services and WRMA are at the top of the early warning system information chain, if you will, because we are the data providers. We provide the information and the data upon which decisions are made. In that regard, it's important that we are able to provide that information in a timely manner. So the purpose of this system is to basically speed up the access to that information to our partners like NEMO, who is basically responsible for the communication when it comes to declaring a disaster and instructing persons or the general public what they should be doing. This week, we've had training with the developers of the system. So there are two contracted firms, one from Italy, SEMA and the other one from the Netherlands, Deltares. Deltares is responsible for the backend, which is the database that will drive the system and the SEMA is responsible for the user interface, the front end, if you will, the web portal itself, which is what most people will be interacting with. The objective of the Hydromet portal is twofold. The first one is to allow and enable the two agencies, Weather Resource Management Agency and the Met Service, to work together to share the weather and water information in a single access point, that is the Hydromet portal, and to perform their analysis, forecast and assessment to this portal. Then the other objective of the Hydromet portal is to share the information, the most important information with the general public. Aside from the platform development and the training sessions, the project also includes the supply of necessary hardware.
