Subject: IMPORTANCE OF WEATHER REPORTS FOR LOAD FORECAST.
Thanking you for the proposal attention to our requests. It will be appreciate to explain that daily weather reports help this centre in accurate Load Forecasts for the day. Based on Load Forecasts demand is placed on IPP’s thermal units.
On 2-7-1998 WAPDA saved Rs.12.3 million for not demanding HUBCO unit, as your report had a forecast of Rain at Lahore, which proved correct.
Concerned with weather of each city related to Load in turn, the undersigned shall be grateful if you supply us every minute weather details.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECTOBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
2. Generated seismological and strong motion data (groundsurface acceleration) to facilitate in devising buildingcode for the country on micro-scale.
3. Existing and future seismic data so generated to serve asdata-bank for the promotion & safety of our socio-economic activities especially the housing and Insurancep y gindustries.
4. Above all, it will provide sufficient lead time in issuingnecessary alerts / warnings against possible impendingTsunami disasters facilitating concerned govt.functionaries to undertake coordinated disasterpreparedness and mitigation activities.
