-
The main objectives of the project are: (i) to strengthen contribution of (multi-hazard) Early Warning System (EWS) to the reduction in risks and losses through enhanced capacities to measure and monitor EWS effectiveness and incorporate feedback/learning (lessons learned) into the EWS value chain; and (ii) to better support LDCs and SIDS in measuring the effectiveness of their (multi-hazard) early warning systems and improving them over time.
Key Deliverables
-
In the Multi-Hazard Early Warning Conference, CREWS guided investments for effective, impact-based, multi-hazard early warning systems; defined the approach to establish national baselines on early warning systems to be used by government agencies to report on advances in early warning efforts as contemplated in the Sendai framework, the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and increases capacities of LDC and SIDS to address multi-hazards effectively.
