3.3 Standards and equipments for calibration Standard and equipments for calibration, before up to now ours service does not have them. 27
4. Problem in observation and instrument Capacity is low Lack of Knowledge of maintenace Instruments for hydro-met data collection & dissemination network are old 28
4 .1 Action Plan 2011-2015 A. Policy, strategy, Decree and law related to Meteorological-Hydrological and Earthquake B. Establishment Early Warning Systems for flood, drought and multi-natural hazards C. Projects contributing to regional commitments on data sharing and exchanges D. Strengthening the capacity of DMH for disaster risk management & Services of weather, Climate and hydrological products to aviation, agriculture and other sectors related to the water resources management and linked to Food Security. 29
5. Conclusion In fulfilling mandate and functions, DMH has been encountering various challenges. DMH has been striving for its improvement on both capability of human resources and technical facilities (Instrument for operating use, standard and equipment for calibration) External supports are the most key reliable resources, DMH has to request for transfer of knowledge, funds, expertise, technical assistance, consultancy to be provided by development partners and government.
