President Md. Abdul Hamid has given the following message on the occasion of the World Meteorological Day 2022:
“I am happy to know that ‘World Meteorological Day 2022′ is being celebrated in Bangladesh like other countries of the world. The theme “Early Warning and Early Action, Hydro meteorological and Climate Information for Disaster Risk Reduction’ set on this year by the World Meteorological Organization for Disaster Risk Reduction is very timely and significant.
Early warning systems act as the main regulator to reduce the loss of lives and properties of the people from disaster risk. The Multi-Hazard Early Warning System is playing an important role in mitigating natural disaster risks in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Potential risks of disaster can largely be mitigated by taking effective measures based on the weather forecast before the disaster strikes.
For disaster risk reduction and disaster loss mitigation, we have to develop long-term strategic action plans and, adopt and implement necessary preventive measures. We have to response through the Multi-Hazard Early Warning System and use weather, water and climate data efficiently in the rescue process. Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has achieved the capability of providing accurate weather forecasts using advanced Numerical Models, Doppler Radar and analysis of Satellite Data. I hope that all the concerned agencies, including the BMD will be able to disseminate weather and climate information, forecasts and early warnings accurately to the people through concerted efforts.
I wish success to all the programs adopted on the occasion of ‘World Meteorological Day 2022’.
Joi Bangla.
Khoda Hafez, May Bangladesh Live Forever.”
