Case study

This case study demonstrates how disaster losses and damage data can be applied to understand child displacement risk and inform forward-looking planning.

In Kenya and Ethiopia, the EarlyWarning4IGAD project is piloting an approach for impact-based early warning for flood, focusing on the impacts for people and drought, concentrating on the impacts on crops and subsistence farmers.

Countries like Brazil, the Solomon Islands and Cambodia are strengthening MHEWS through mobile-based strategies tailored to local contexts and resource realities.

High tech, low tech, and no tech solutions are implemented in Ecuador, Haiti, and India to make early warnings more understandable, inclusive, and actionable in local communities.

UNDRR led a comprehensive assessment of loss and damage data collection practice in Timor-Leste that informed a methodology and procedural guidance for improved accounting for disaster loss and damage.

In climate-vulnerable regions like Malawi and Libya, community-based monitoring initiatives are driving improvements in EWS capabilities.

To support public dialogue about EWS, facilitate mass communication, and ensure the timely dissemination of critical information, the Barbados Department of Emergency Management formalised Memorandums of Understanding with major broadcasting networks.

Recent developments around the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) - a digital format for delivering consistent, multi-channel alerts - reflect growing global momentum to standardise and strengthen early warning communication.

Evidence on inclusive approaches in MHEWS is growing signalling increased momentum across diverse regions, with initiatives in Mali, Sudan, Cambodia, and Latin America and the Caribbean demonstrating how equity-driven strategies can strengthen MHEWS.

Efforts in Cambodia, Central Asia, Costa Rica, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Nepal, and Panama, exemplify the growing emphasis on coordinated, people-centred MHEWS tailored to complex risk contexts
