21 In many countries, early warning systems are not an integral part of disaster risk management Communities at risk NATIONAL SERVICES hazard warning National to local governments post-disaster response Meteorological Hydrological hazard warning Geological Marine Health (etc.)
22 2 What is an Effective EWS? COORDINATION AMONG NATIONAL SERVICES 5 feedback 3 warnings 1 National to local governments supported by DRR plans, legislation and coordination mechanisms warnings 3 5 preventive actions feedback 4 Community Preparedness Meteorological Hydrological 3 warnings Geological 5 feedback Marine Health (etc.)
23 Criteria for Good Practices in EWS (outcome of the Symposium on Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems, WMO-UNDP-WB-OCHA-UNESCO-ISDR, Geneva, May 2006) Political commitment, DRR plans, legislation, roles and responsibilities (national to local) Overall Coordination and operational working mechanisms among agencies Capacity for delivery of best available information to address government demand in support of decision-making Authoritative, understandable warnings Combine hazard, risk and response information Dissemination Mechanisms Match resources and culture Sustainability, interoperability, reliability Integration of warning information in emergency preparedness and response actions Community-based emergency preparedness and training programmes Feedback mechanisms to improve the system
24 National Example: Cyclone Preparedness Programme in Bangladesh
25 To Assist Members in Development of Early Warning Systems, WMO is: 1) Documenting good practices - governance, organizational coordination and operational processes in good practices (2008); 2) Initiating National Demonstration projects: strengthening operational capacities and coordination 3) Facilitating sharing of experiences Publications, manuals, study tours, training workshops, symposia
26 Comprehensive EWS Pilot Projects with Multi-Hazard Approach (since 2006) South-Eastern Europe, East Asia Caucasus South Asia Central America China (Shanghai) South-Eastern Africa South-Eastern Asia
27 Examples of Initiatives Involving WMO together with other international Agencies in support of National EWS Severe Weather Forecasting Systems Marine related hazards (storm surge and tropical cyclone) Sand and dust storm warning system Drought monitoring and warning systems (UNCCD) Flash Flood Guidance Systems with Global Coverage (with HRC and NOAA) Global Wild Land and Forest Fire Warning Programme (with GFMC) Regional Tsunami Early Warning Systems (with UNESCO-IOC) Health Epidemics warning systems (with WHO) Locust Swarms warning Systems (with FAO) Linking these technical capacities to operational early warning systems
28 Role of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services for Financial Risk Transfer Markets Governance and Organizational Coordination and Cooperation Risk Identification Risk Reduction Risk Transfer Historical hazard data, analysis and changing hazard trends Exposed assets & vulnerability Risk quantification PREPAREDNESS: early warning systems, emergency planning and response capacities MITIGATION AND PREVENTION: Medium to long term sectoral planning (e.g. building resilient infrastructure) CAT insurance CAT bonds Alternative Risk Transfer mechanisms Other emerging products Information and Knowledge Sharing Education and training
