Many hazards associated with climate change have the greatest impacts in urban areas where most people and property are concentrated. Severe and extreme weather events are projected to increase losses challenging Governments and insurance systems world-wide. Communication, transfer and development of climate-related knowledge is most effective when it is sensitive to context, diversity of decision types, decision processes and the requirements of constituencies. This project will adapt carefully selected meteorological and hazard models for circumstances in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. It will test their viability and integrate them onto a common multi-hazard platform designed for managing and communicating risks and enhancing disaster resilience. Pilot studies will be conducted in Kuala Lumpur and adjacent areas to forecast flash floods & floods, landslides, sinkholes, strong winds, urban heat and air pollution at the city and neighbourhood scales. The proposed development of climate and multi-hazard forecasting capacity will greatly contribute to addressing major problems for future development in cities in Malaysia and the ASEAN region.
