7 4 th Pacific Meteorological Council (PMC-4) August Meeting theme Sustainable Weather, Climate, Oceans and Water Services for a Resilient Pacific. 21 of the 26 SPREP Countries were present for the PMC-4 PMC Outcome: 171 Recommendations and 58 of these require further Support and Action Key issues discussed included but not limited to are the: Pacific Island Meteorological Strategy (PIMS) Pacific Roadmap for Strengthened Climate Services (PRSC) Aviation Safety (Aviation Weather Services) Establishment of a Expert Panel on Hydrology PCCC and role in supporting meteorology in the Pacific Endorsement to establish the Pacific Regional Climate Centre (RCC)
8 PMC-4 Outcomes requested the PMC s PIAWS Panel to develop a regional project proposal to address the regional aviation requirements of member countries identified by the survey and by the PIMS in collaboration with WMO and ICAO requested the PIMOS Panel to develop a project proposal to assist with the development of marine weather and oceans services capacity of the regions' NMHSs, to assist NMHSs meet their obligations under SOLAS and to achieve the goals of PIMS PKO-2 for PMC endorsement. Endorse FMS and USP to continue explore the possibility of establishing the Pacific Regional Training Centre (RTC). FMS and USP will aim towards presenting the proposed RTC plan to the RA V President and Management Group meeting in 2018, and report progress to the PIETR Panel and PMC-5
