The true scale of the horror unfolding in Iran this past week, carried out by the regime, is beyond what anyone could imagine. We need help.
#IranMassacre
The world would benefit if Iran was turned from being a nuclear threat and an exporter of violence across the Middle East into a tolerant, stable trading power—but protests alone don’t end tyranny economist.com/leaders/2026/0…
🚨 New paper in Nature @CommsEarth!
🔗shorturl.at/AwV8J
We show how hybrid continental models (@SMHI E-HYPE + #AI) improve local streamflow predictions across Europe—boosting operational potential for services like @CopernicusEMS & #HydroSOS @WMO.

Day 2 at #HEPEX: Another day of insightful discussions, hands-on learning, and building connections with the leading minds in the field 🚀🌍 #WaterResearch #Hydrology #CollaborationInAction #HEPEX2025 @hepexorg
🚨 No one should be caught off guard by a flood.
At @WMO Stories on Water, I stressed that #flood warnings must be clear, personal & actionable to save lives.
⚠️ "Warnings must move beyond alerts to become actionable guidance."

Curious about #floods? The 131 experts attending the last EU Flood Awareness System (EFAS) meeting discussed:
- EFAS v5.4 updates & roadmap for v6
- Satellite-based flood monitoring
- Workshops on notifications & metrics
- And more!
See the full recap 👉 shorturl.at/XqiqJ
Just few days ago at the @CopernicusEMS #EFAS Meeting, the life-saving role of #EarlyWarnings was stressed. The recent #floods in #Valencia show why we need stronger, more personal alerts to keep communities safe. We can’t let another #DANA become a disaster. #EW4All #Resilience
This year's #EFAS Annual Meeting @SMHI united 130 participants to discuss Europe’s #flood events and the impact of #EarlyWarnings in #DisasterRiskReduction. We remain dedicated to hydrological forecasting to protect communities & strengthen resilience. #EW4All #HEPEX #StormBoris

📢 NEW DROUGHT RESEARCH! ✨
Is #Europe #drought Prepared?🌍
@DitA_network latest study shows why preparedness is key in Drought Risk Management and why we need a #EC_Drought_Directive 🇪🇺
Check out the preprint & share your thoughts!💭

💧 The overwhelming majority of disasters are water-related, so water management and monitoring are at the heart of the global #EarlyWarningsForAll initiative.
