- Trajectory Map — forecast track and uncertainty cone
- Rainfall Forecast Map — precipitation accumulation forecast
- Population Impact Table — exposed population by municipality and risk level
- Wind speed and storm surge layers
- WFP facility exposure overview
How to read the outputs
- Forecast cycle and update cadence
- Risk level classification
- Difference between probabilistic forecast and observed track
Typical alert workflow
- ADAM identifies a developing cyclone in ECMWF feeds
- Initial dashboard generated, email alert sent
- Updated dashboards delivered with each new forecast
- Post-landfall: switch focus to flood module if relevant
