First regional training course on end-to-end multi-hazard early warning

The course aims to build the capacity of professionals to design, manage, evaluate and undertake improvements in people-centered end-to-end early warning systems for hydro-meteorological and geological hazards and extreme events associated with climate change and variability. It builds upon ADPC’s two decades of experience in disaster management, facilitating regional cooperation and building capacities of disaster management institutions at all government levels, disaster management practitioners and communities. It extends to a decade of experience in institutionalizing weather and climate information applications for disaster mitigation and recently, in the implementation of Indian Ocean and South East Asia end-to-end early warning system for tsunami and hydro-meteorological hazards.

The core contents of the course include:

- Risk identification and assessment
- Hazard detection, monitoring, forecasting, and warning
- Early warning dissemination and communication
- Community-based early warning systems
- Building hazard-ready communities
- Early warning system management, monitoring and evaluation
