Slide13Outlook
Multidisciplinary Team formed to
develop a cholera Early Warning System :
Building on
WHO GIMS, NOAA environmental services and Fraunhofer ICT system skills
EO2HEAVEN results and NOAA work in US coastal regions
Cholera research of Berg-en-Dal group
Ready for funding to realize sustainable, operational
Early
Warning
System for any interested country
