Extreme weather and climate events such as flood, drought, windstorms and heat waves pose multi-dimensional hazards, with the impacts felt across society. Economic losses, tangible and intangible effects on health, and natural resource losses are but a few of the consequences that affect the most vulnerable sectors to the greatest extent. Resilient systems are able to recover rapidly to a stable state of operation and rebound from multi-dimensional hazards with acceptable levels of impact to society, the economy or the environment. However, planning and designing resilient systems require two-way collaboration between information producers to develop robust, well communicated predictions and advice on the impacts from extreme events.
