Summary:
The Mekong River Commission (MRC) is holding the 6th Annual Mekong Flood Forum under the theme ‘Integrated approaches and applicable systems for medium-term flood forecasting and early warning in the Mekong River Basin’.
The forum aims to raise awareness on the current state of data collection, transmission and exchange at national and regional levels in the Mekong River Basin. Another objective is the exchange of information on the database systems and tools used for dissemination of flood forecasting and early warning products produced by the Regional Flood Management and Mitigation Centre of the Mekong River Commission and the National Centres of the MRC Member States. The forum will also provide an opportunity for participants to discuss emerging needs related to flood forecasting and floods within the basin and to share the progress each country has made towards a holistic and balanced flood management plan.
