The capacity development (cddrr) for weather, water, and climate forecasting and disaster risk reduction program's goal is to improve the performance of all operational meteorological hydrological, and disaster/emergency management services worldwide. Improving agencies' performance for enhanced decision support services is done through collaboration between operational hydrologists/meteorologists, scientists, and other staff with expertise across a wide range of environmental, economic, and social and behavioral sciences. These activities engage operational hydrologists, meteorologists, and researchers in development and implementation of innovative programs which are pivotal to the improvement of weather and climate early warning services in developing countries. The objectives of the cddrr for weather ready nations, global flash flood guidance programs and hydrometeorological hazards early warning systems program (IPS) are to support capacity building in developing and least DE
