Module 4. Country-specific Implementation of IBF: Maldives Case Study

Welcome to our tutorial on "Country-Specific Implementation: Maldives Case Study and Cyclone Tauktae Impact-Based Forecasting Analysis." This module underscores the importance of tailored impact forecasts at the country level, highlighting the unique needs and challenges faced by nations like the Maldives.

The Maldives, a low-lying island nation, is exceptionally vulnerable to climate change and natural hazards. This module presents a case study of Cyclone Tauktae, a significant weather event that profoundly impacted the Maldives. By examining this cyclone, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of IBF in the context of the Maldives.

Cyclone Tauktae serves as a pertinent example to illustrate the practical application of IBF. We will explore the cyclone's characteristics, its impact on the Maldives, and the methodologies used to assess and predict these impacts. Through this case study, you will gain insights into the data collection, georeferencing, hazard categorization, and assessment of exposure and vulnerability necessary for effective IBF.

Join us as we navigate the intricacies of implementing country-specific impact-based forecasting, using Cyclone Tauktae as a powerful example to enhance our understanding and preparedness for future climatic events.
