The INLINE project aims at advancing on EWS capabilities with tools to anticipate the impacts caused by storms, heavy rain and floods to support the decision-making workflows of various levels of Civil Protection Agencies (CPAs), including their coordination and cooperation.

To achieve this, the project is developing impact-forecasting products and functionalities with European coverage, which are being tested in real time over a 15-month demonstration period. Results are co-evaluated with the participation of a number of end-users (both partners and stakeholders integrated in the INLINE Community of Interest) to assess their operational value.

This study presents results form the first months of the demonstration (starting in September 2025) focusing on (i) the skill of the products to anticipate the occurrence of the most significant events, and the magnitude of the resulting impacts; and (ii) the first results obtained with end-users during recent high-impact events in their regions.
