A virtual End-User Workshop was held on 25 and 27 August 2020 to present key outcomes of the Impact-based forecasting for the coastal zone: East Coast Lows project. This was the second end-user workshop for the project, and focused on four key themes:

  1. Verification of impact forecasts
  2. Demonstrating evolution of impact forecasts
  3. Identifying needs to deliver and support future impact forecast products
  4. Future utilisation opportunities.

We invited participants from emergency services agencies in Queensland, NSW, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia, along with Emergency Management Australia (EMA). Also participating were a number of Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) officers who are embedded within the respective State Operations Centres in several states. A full list is provided at the end of this report.
