We presents the Basque Country Impact Weather Catalogue, recording detailed information on adverse weather events and their environmental impacts. It includes context, hazard/risk, and impact sections, utilizing data from Euskalmet, Emergency, Media, Insurance, etc. Standardized information enables qualitative and quantitative analysis feasibility for events spanning the 21st century. The paper details catalogue design, structure, and implementation steps.

Facebook is one of the most used social networks and it represents a perfect virtual platform to share information and to promote active and immediate interaction amongst users. This is why many NMSs develop new communication strategies and incorporate this tool for different purposes. In this paper we investigate how Facebook was introduced in different NMSs worldwide as an additional tool for the diffusion of meteorological information and interction with users.
