 and technical research to improve its forecasts, runs one of the largest supercomputer facilities in Europe and manages a long-term archive of meteorological data.

<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">ECMWF has long recognised the value of high-quality forecasts in mitigating the effects of natural disasters. Recognising that floods are among the costliest natural disasters in Europe, the European Commission
<span style="color:black">instigated the </span>development of the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) at its Joint Research Centre (JRC). Development and testing were carried out in close collaboration with national hydrological and meteorological services,
 European civil protection agencies (through the Emergency Response and Coordination Centre (ERCC)), and other research institutes. Since 2011, EFAS has been part of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service - Early warning for floods (CEMS-Floods) and it
 became fully operational in 2012, with ECMWF being the computational centre responsible for the production of its forecast and their dissemination through its own web service.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">Alongside this, ECMWF co-operates with the JRC in the provision of the operational Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS), a scaled-up version of EFAS covering the global domain as a Copernicus EMS operational service since
 2018. In addition, ECMWF is also part of the Aristotle-ENHP project, providing briefs to the Emergency Coordination Response Centre of the European Commission on possible upcoming floods in Europe and the world.<o:p></o:p></p>

<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">2) <u>IT solutions</u>: Code optimisation and integration of developed algorithms in existing operational forecasting platforms will insure that all scientific solutions developed in TAMIR can be executed and delivered in real-time
 as actionable products available to Civil Protection (CP) agencies in case of emergencies. Outputs include IT applications in the form of new prototype forecasting products in EFAS, new WMS-T services, and technical specifications for implementation in local
 CP tools. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">3) <u>End-user demonstration</u>: Collaboration with CP partners and stakeholders (through workshops and case study analyses) will ensure that all services and products are fit-for-purpose as scientific and IT solutions to support
