Institutional Strengthening and Modernization of Hydromet and Multi-Hazard Early Warning Services in Bhutan

This roadmap describes the current situation of hydromet service provision in Bhutan and presents a short- and medium-term modernization approach. It provides an overview of the National Centre for Hydrology and Meteorology (NCHM), its financial and technical infrastructure, human resources, and information about the users of its products and services. To provide enhanced and fit-for-purpose services to its users, the roadmap presents two development stages to help strengthen the capabilities of the NCHM to better deliver hydromet information, impact-based forecasting, and multi-hazard early warning services (MHEWS).
