Sanad organization for economic development participated in the milestone anniversaries of the 20+ years of activities implemented by the APFM, underlining its impacts in promoting the concept of Integrated Flood Management to WMO Members and presenting the way forward in the expansion of its HelpDesk. The event was an opportunity to identify current flood management issues in WMO Members and how APFM programme and Support Base Partners could potentially support the National Hydrological and Meteorological Services in timely managing the flood events.
