The Global Information System Center (GISC) Tokyo ran its third JMA Workshop on WMO Information System Implementation at JMA Headquarters in Tokyo from 18 to 20 November 2014. The event was attended by 18 representatives from nine National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam, as well as presenters from GISC Offenbach (Germany), GISC Beijing (China) and the WMO Secretariat.
The workshop was intended to promote understanding among participants regarding the WIS Competency Framework, operational guidelines for backup procedures and WIS Monitoring standards through presentations, practical exercises, discussions and technical visits. Attendees considered a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for their own countries during a practical exercise session.
Workshop materials are available on the GISC Tokyo portal.
