The platforms are designed to serve the general public, seafarers and event organisers, offering live weather tracking, marine condition reports and tide information. They also include push notifications for emergency weather warnings.
Climate Change, Environment and Energy Minister Ali Shareef inaugurated the platforms at the launch ceremony, while Minister of State Ibrahim Mimrah delivered a demonstration outlining the technical infrastructure and meteorological data streams behind the services.
UNDP Resident Representative in the Maldives Adnan Cheema also addressed the ceremony, highlighting the importance of accessible early warning services.
The Thayyaaru Project is implemented by UNDP Maldives in partnership with MMS to strengthen multi-hazard early warning systems and improve preparedness for climate-related hazards.
The project is funded by the Chinese Government through the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund, under an agreement between UNDP and the China International Development Cooperation Agency.
The redesigned MMS website is accessible to the public, while the upgraded Moosun application is available for download on iOS and Android devices.
