Conducting a training seminar on the topic "Serious Flood Management System in the Central Asian region (CARFFGS)"

On November 21, 2024, a training seminar on "Serious Flood Management System in the Central Asian region (CARFFGS)" was held for industry specialists at the Agency for Hydrometeorology of the Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan. This seminar was conducted by Sharofiddinov Safarkhon, Head of the Hydrological Forecasting Department of the Meteorological Forecasting Center.

During this workshop, industry experts improved their theoretical and practical knowledge of the Flash Flood Management System (FFGS), which is a heavy rainfall forecasting system designed to provide timely and accurate flood warnings.

It should be noted that the Central Asian Regional Flood Management System (CARFFGS), developed by the Center for Hydrological Research (HRC) and controlled by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), is designed to warn about floods in five post-Soviet countries of Central Asia.

The CARFFGS system is operated by the National Meteorological Service of Kazakhstan (Kazhydromet), is available for the entire Central Asian region and is currently used by the Agency for Hydrometeorology.
