IFRC Forecasts in Context Map Room addresses the problem where in responding to disasters such as cyclones, floods and other weather-related events, humanitarian organizations must decide when and where to send aid. Here shown is the Six-Day Forecast presentation focusing on where exceptionally heavy rainfall is expected. Other facets of the IFRC Map Room are available through the pull-down menu: they include additional foci of the Six-Day Forecasts as well as sections for Three-Month Forecasts, Past Conditions, Recent Climate Trends, and Vulnerability Indicators.
