What is Hazard Identification in an Early Warning System?
Hazard identification involves understanding natural threats such as heatwaves, floods, cyclones, droughts, or landslides that may impact communities.
Why is Vulnerability & Exposure Assessment Important?
This process identifies the susceptibility of people, buildings, agriculture, and infrastructure to natural disasters to improve risk reduction planning.
How Does Community Awareness Strengthen the EWS?
When communities understand risks and available warning systems, they respond faster and more effectively, reducing loss of life and property.
How Does Historical Data Help in Predicting Disasters?
Past patterns, event records, and climate trends help forecast future events and improve accuracy in disaster monitoring.
What Does a Fully Integrated Early Warning System Include?
An integrated EWS combines risk assessment, forecasting, real-time alerts, communication networks, and emergency response mechanisms.
