The International Environmental Data Rescue Organization has been a WDS Partner Member since January 2013. IEDRO’s mission is to save lives, protect crops, livestock and infrastructure, and mitigate severe weather and climate change by locating, protecting, digitizing, archiving and sharing historic weather data from around the globe.IEDRO recovers and digitizes historical environmental data that are at risk of disintegrating or being discarded, particularly in developing countries.
By rescuing and digitizing past extreme weather events such as extreme winds, precipitation, and storms, IEDRO empowers local decision-makers to adapt their infrastructure and agriculture to better withstand extreme weather and climate change while also helping predict the path of airborne disease.This vast knowledge offers the world community the ability to more accurately predict long-range weather patterns, and gives tools to meteorological professionals and others to better understand the nature and extent of global warming and climate change.
