The findings identify countries’ challenges and note good practices in forecasting capabilities, early wa…
The ‘Scoping study on compound, cascading and systemic risks in the Asia-Pacific’, undertaken by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) and Asia Pacific Scientific and Technical Advisory Group (AP-STAG), presents an important opportunity to explore the challenges and potential associated with better understanding and managing of c…
The purpose of this document is to support countries in the computation of custom indicators developed to measure the effectiveness of Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS), available via the Sendai Framework Monitor national level reporting. The objective of the methodology outlined is to allow for consistent measurement of progress towards a mini…
The Caribbean thematic case of Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS) has been built based on three sources of information. First, a desk review of relevant documents being published recently. Second, on the regional MHEWS - Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (MTR SF MHEWS) consultation with the Caribbean countries, o…
This contributing paper takes a look at the use of radio occultation to infer temperature and improve modeling for wildfire risk. Retrieving good-quality measurements of vertical profiles of atmospheric parameters (moisture, wind, temperature, and vertical information of aerosols) in wildfire events remains an extremely challenging endeavor. Global…
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 recognizes the importance of multihazard early-warning systems (MHEWS) in supporting disaster risk reduction efforts. In particular, it includes commitments to investing in and strengthening people-centred MHEWS, disaster risk communication mechanisms and hazard-monitoring telecommunications sys…
As part of the Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), the UNDRR Regional Office for Africa sent out a questionnaire dedicated to Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS) at regional and continental level. The questionnaire was sent in September 2022 to all RECs, AUC and other regional organizations working on t…
