The project has four main objectives:

1. To review value chain practices used to describe and understand weather, warning and climate services;
2. To assess and provide guidance on how they can be best applied in a weather warning context that involves multiple users and partnerships;
3. To generate an easily accessible means for scientists and practitioners involved in researching, designing, and evaluating weather-related warning systems to review relevant previous experience and assess their efficacy using value chain approaches.
4. To analyse the warning chain data to understand, revise and extend best practice in warning  processes.
