<image:caption><![CDATA[ The success of Norway’s early-warning system lies in its integration of all components. Weather observations from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET) feed into forecasting models and datasets available through SeNorge. These inform the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate’s (NVE) hazard assessments, forecasts and warnings disseminated through Varsom, triggering public and emergency responses. Feedback from field observations, reported through Regobs, completes the loop]]></image:caption>

<image:caption><![CDATA[ The group visited northern most island of Arnøya, Skjervøy municipality, learning about snow avalanche risks in isolated communities, speaking to local observers who contribute to a threshold-based avalanche forecasting system. In the picture, the pole close to the group measures the amount of snow in a local school compound. The realisation that persons work alone in such communities during risk-periods is a stark reminder of disadvantage with lower population.]]></image:caption>
