Global forecasting models and services 
3 november 2014 
Global models in development Building up FEWS environment Goal: Run 3 global models daily 
•Flood model 
•Tide/storm surge model 
•Drought model 
Supporting 
•Global Flood Partnership, 
•BuZa DRR missions 
•WMO / Worldbank 
•Research activities

Pilot project example: Risk Analysis Tool 
3 november 2014 
An Operational FEWS-Risk Analysis Tool - provide flood impact forecasting as decision support for disaster risk reduction The tool will help to answer questions such as: “Where should I put my sandbags?” “Which areas should I evacuate first?” 
It fit’s well into the purpose of the iD-LAB in terms of: 
•focus on Disaster Risk Reduction services 
•a strong demonstration of Deltares’ state of the art capabilities in forecasting, decision support, flood risk management and flood impact assessment Contact: Ferdinand Diermanse, Annemargreet de Leeuw and Dirk Eilander (RAW) 
Consequences (economic, people at risk etc.)
Pilot project example: Interactive design sessions for

Training facility 
•Disaster/crisis management exercises/simulations 
•Use of serious games for training with different stakeholders 
•Support the Dutch water boards in training 
•Providing the tools for training for use by external stakeholders 
•Training and Capacity building within the Global Flood Partnership 
•Delft-FEWS courses 
•Dedicated trainings for small groups
