PDC just wrapped up participation in an energizing and effective two-day Montreal Climate Security Summit, co-hosted by our partners at the new NATO Climate Change and Security Center of Excellence.
Excellent speakers include the Canadian and Norwegian Ministers of Foreign Affairs, former DASDs Dr. Sherri Goodman and Caroline Baxter, as well as PDC's Deputy Executive Director, Dr. Erin Hughey. More than 200 in-person participants joined from nations across NATO, including representatives from government, academia, and the private sector.
***Key takeaway: Climate security is integral to national and partner nation defense efforts, with a need to leverage good data and analysis to support timely decision-making, particularly as we approach climate impact tipping points. Making climate security mission decisions "chop, chop" was the call for action, and PDC is engaged!

Sending aloha to our partners in Colombia! Our team was excited to return to Bogotá this week to share the preliminary results of the National Disaster Preparedness Baseline Assessment (NDPBA) with the Unidad Nacional para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres (UNGRD), Colombia’s national disaster management organization and our valued partner in the assessment.
As we look to conclude Colombia’s NDPBA in February, we look forward to continuing to work closely alongside UNGRD and their in-country partners as we finalize the assessment. We also look forward to returning in-country to sign a Memorandum of Understanding, which will serve to guide our continued partnership not only for the NDPBA but also for future projects and capacity building efforts as we work together to build a safer world.

The PDC team was excited to return to the Balkans this week! Year 2 of the Balkans Early Warning Capacity Development program culminated with a Table Top Exercise (TTX) simultaneously conducted from Albania (Tirana) and Kosovo (Pristina) and centered on a winter storm scenario. Participants included national disaster management organization representatives from Albania (NCPA), Kosovo (EMA), and Montenegro (DPR), as well as the Albanian Red Cross, Center for Innovation for Security and Defense, Kosovo Security Council, Kosovo Hydrometeorological Institute, and US Forest Service which sponsored this program.
The engagement included a refresher course on PDC’s global, multi-hazard early warning and decision support platform—DisasterAWARE Pro (www.pdc.org/DisasterAWARE).

Mahalo (thank you) to the United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) for inviting us to support the Assessment & Analysis (A&A) Cell workshop in Geneva this week, October 14-18.
This collaborative effort focused on jointly advancing the A&A Cell’s approach and methodology among UNDAC members and global partners as we work together to enhance the synchronization of products, including the rapid assessment of hazard exposure and needs, to provide critical information to humanitarian responders in the early stages of an emergency.

Congratulations to the Regional Coordination Operations Centre (RCOC) in the Seychelles and the Madagascar-based Regional Maritime Information Fusion Center (RMIFC) for delivering an impressive Western Indian Ocean maritime oil spill response tabletop exercise (TTX) from October 7 to 11. PDC had the opportunity to brief on DisasterAWARE and its application in a maritime environment affected by both natural and man-made hazards. Mahalo (thank you!) to the RCOC Director, the US Embassy in Port Louis, and the US Embassy in Victoria for requesting PDC participation.

Hurricane Milton, currently at Category 3 strength, is forecast to make landfall on the Florida Gulf Coast late tonight as a dangerous major hurricane. Devastating hurricane-force winds are expected along portions of the west coast of Florida, and life-threatening hurricane-force winds are anticipated to spread inland across the peninsula and to portions of Florida eastern coast.
A large area of destructive storm surge (with highest inundations of 10 feet or greater) is expected along a portion of the west-central coast of the Florida Peninsula, and heavy rains bring a risk of catastrophic and life-threatening flooding. The risk of strong tornadoes will continue into the evening hours across the southern and central portions of the Florida Peninsula.

Milton, currently at Category 4 strength, is expected to grow in size and remain an extremely dangerous hurricane when it approaches Florida's west coast tomorrow. Devastating hurricane-force winds are anticipated along portions of the west coast of Florida, and Milton is forecast to remain a life-threatening hurricane as it crosses the Florida peninsula.
A large area of destructive storm surge will occur along parts of the west coast of Florida. Areas of heavy rainfall will continue to impact portions of the state well ahead of Milton, bringing the risk of life-threatening flooding.
