Mauritius Meteorological Services has validated a five-year strategic plan for 2027–2031, alongside an accompanying operational plan, the World Meteorological Organization reported in a project update dated 23 September 2026. The plan was validated that day at a stakeholder workshop in Balaclava, the report said. The WMO said both plans were developed with support from the CREWS South-West Indian Ocean and Technical Assistance to the Indian Ocean Commission projects, with the organization providing technical support and coordination.

The report said the strategy covers weather, climate, ocean and hydrological services, and sets out plans to strengthen the country's National Multi-Hazard Early Warning System through an end-to-end approach spanning risk knowledge, observations, forecasting, warning dissemination, preparedness and last-mile communication. Planned measures were described as aiming to widen access to warnings and expand use of digital technologies and Common Alerting Protocol-compatible dissemination systems.

According to the WMO, further planned measures include strengthening the national observation network, upgrading automatic weather stations and radar and satellite systems, and expanding marine, aviation and hydrometeorological forecasting. The report said the plan aligns with the Government Programme 2025–2029, Mauritius Vision 2030, the Global Framework for Climate Services and the Early Warnings for All initiative. As a Small Island Developing State, Mauritius was described as exposed to hazards including tropical cyclones, intense rainfall, flash floods, droughts, heat stress and coastal hazards.
