Interreligious mini-station network expands local climate monitoring

IRI Brazil continued expanding the Inter-Religious Network of Amazon Meteorological Mini-Stations as a community-based tool for climate monitoring and early warning. The network now includes 20 operational stations, with 10 more in installation, increasing locally generated climate data in priority Amazon territories. March technical meetings with leading partners helped validate equipment, improve data transmission to national systems, and shape next steps for testing, calibration, and alert protocols. By placing better local data into systems that support early warning and civil defense, IRI Brazil is strengthening preparedness in highly vulnerable communities.
