The SC-MMO will work closely with the WMO Technical Commissions, subsidiary bodies, and other partners to support the EW4All initiative. This collaboration aims to reduce the impact of marine and coastal hazards by enhancing processes, addressing gaps in alerting services, and providing impact-based information and actionable advice for decision-making. The focus will be on capacity development and ensuring equitable service delivery, especially for vulnerable and hard-to-reach communities, including last-mile communication.
