Applying US AON’s Benefit Tool to risks and hazards (project update)
Facing rapid warming, alongside other shifting environmental and social conditions, Arctic communities are being forced to contend with a range of risks and hazards. Community resilience depends on robust and readily-available observations before, during, and after hazards arise. To support a better coordinated and more effective observing system, the US Arctic Observing Network (US AON) team is undertaking a series of gaps analysis case studies focused on risk management and hazard mitigation (see MOMP deliverable 2.2 in the current IARPC research plan). This meeting, led by members of the US AON team, will inform the broader IARPC community about the task, review the approach and progress-to-date, listen to feedback, and engage new dialogue partners.
This meeting was co-hosted by the Monitoring, Observing, Modeling, and Prediction (MOMP) Collaboration Team, Observations Community of Practice, and Risk Management and Hazard Mitigation Collaboration Team.
Hazel Shapiro (IARPC) provided an overview of the deliverable and methodology. Sandy Starkweather (NOAA/CIRES) shared results of the early scoping. Cathy Coon (NOAA Fisheries), Gay Sheffield (UAF Alaska Sea Grant), Jackie Qatalina Schaeffer (ANTHC), and Chad Stovall (HUD) served as a panel to discuss the Benefit Tool and risks and hazards.
