Understanding how CCRIF Works and Insights into the Real-Time Forecasting System
“A Guide to Understanding the Real-Time Impact Forecasting System: A Question and Answer Booklet”, has been produced by CCRIF to enable key officials such as disaster and emergency managers in our member countries to effectively utilise the real-time hurricane hazard and impact information that this tool provides during the hurricane season. By providing advanced knowledge of a hurricane’s expected site-specific impacts, the Real-Time Impact Forecasting System (RTFS) can support effective hurricane preparedness, response and evacuation.
This book provides a number of questions that you may have about CCRIF and answers to those questions. We hope that you will find this information useful and we look forward to expanding the document to include answers to other questions as they emerge.
