Many hazards associated with climate change have the greatest impacts in urban areas where most peopleand property are concentrated. Severe and extreme weather events are projected to increase losseschallenging Governments and insurance systems world-wide. Communication, transfer and development ofclimate-related knowledge is most effective when it is sensitive to context, diversity of decision types, decisionprocesses and the requirements of constituencies. This project will adapt carefully selected meteorological andhazard models for circumstances in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. It will test their viability and integrate themonto a common multi-hazard platform designed for managing and communicating risks and enhancing disasterresilience. 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. Theproposed development of climate and multi-hazard forecasting capacity will greatly contribute to addressingmajor problems for future development in cities in Malaysia and the ASEAN region.

与气候变化有关的许多灾害对人口和财产最集中的城市地区影响最大。预计恶劣和极端天气事件将增加损失，对全世界的政府和保险系统提出挑战。与气候有关的知识的交流、转让和发展在对环境、决策类型的多样性、决策进程和支持者的要求敏感时最为有效。该项目将根据马来西亚和东南亚的情况调整精心挑选的气象和灾害模型。它将测试这些系统的可行性，并将其纳入一个共同的多灾害平台，该平台旨在管理和沟通风险，并提高抗灾能力。试点研究将在吉隆坡和邻近地区进行，以预测城市和社区尺度的山洪暴发和洪水、山体滑坡、天坑、强风、城市高温和空气污染。拟议的发展气候和多种灾害预报能力将大大有助于解决马来西亚和东盟地区城市未来发展的主要问题。
