FEWS NET has now expanded to a global project with USAID this technology to Afghanistan, Southeast Asia and Central America. Step Five: Supporting Decision Makers As an early warning system, FEWS NET is dedicated to providing decision-makers with forward-looking information to guide their humanitarian response plans.

Develops stream flow estimates for flood risk monitoring, as well as scenarios for flood preparedness, in GIS environments.ĭata Archive and Dissemination - repository of FEWS NET Africa-wide data archive, and Africa Data Dissemination Service (ADDS) server.įEWS NET supports data collection and analysis in 17 African countries: Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, and Niger Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, Southern Sudan, and Tanzania Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. It is intended to help governments and other humanitarian actors quickly understand a crisis (or potential crisis) and take action. Spatial Data Modeling and Forecasting - Stream Flow Model. Provides access to relevant satellite data (e.g., AVHRR-derived normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and Meteosat-derived rainfall estimates).Īgro-meteorological Product Development, such as rainfall estimate algorithm enhancement, and crop-specific water requirement satisfaction index (WRSI) modeling and yield reduction assessment. USGS Data and Image Processing Support - remote sensing, image processing and interpretation, and GIS analyses. USGS Mission Tie In: This project provides numerous benefits to several Science Disciplines at the USGS: Since 1987, USGS/EDC has provided timely access to satellite data/products in order to identify potential and current problems related to crop conditions and/or flood risk throughout Africa. Cost Non-credit experiences will be available to students free-of-charge. 11th and 12th graders will be able to enter the early college and career pathways beginning in the fall of 2022. FEWS NET supports data collection and analysis in 17 African countries. Craig Murphy opened the FEW Center in Franklin, MA, in 2016 after working in the Newton Public Schools for 15 years. In the fall of 2021, FEWS 2 concepts will be integrated into math and science instruction for all Lincoln Northeast 9th and 10th graders. The purpose of FEWS NET is to collect, analyze, and distribute information to decision makers regarding potential or current famine/flood situations, allowing them to authorize timely measures to prevent food-insecure conditions.
