SP Leader: SCHAPI
Partners involved: SCHAPI, HYDS, UPC-CRAHI, WSL, CETaqua, JRC, ACA, EGMASA, GLARUS, VERZASCA, AET, AdBDxSele, ULANC, CUGRI, MeteoSwiss, UPC-GITS, SMC

Objective:  Identify the requirements and specifications provided by the S/T developers and practitioners, as well as those resulting from the characteristics of the test beds to be included in the design of the Practitioner’s tools to be developed in SP7.

Task 6.1: Compilation of the present practices of the different emergency agencies and utilities companies integrated in the Practitioner’s Board of the project. Identification of these system specifications for the tools to be developed in SP7.

Task 6.2: Compilation of the data from the test-beds to be used in Tasks 3.3, 3.4, 5.4, 5.5.

Task 6.3: Identification of the specifications coming from the S/T developers about the algorithms and procedures developed in SPs 1-5.

Task 6.4: Design of the user-interface of the integrated FF & DF probabilistic forecasting system to improve the communication of the uncertainties in the probabilistic forecasts to the operational practitioners taking into account the social aspects of the warning dissemination adapted to the test regions. Design early warning procedures and ways to disseminate them to improve the chances to reduce loss.

Task 6.5: Design of the test procedures to test the developments of the project on the test-bed areas (to be performed in SP8)
