Program
Components
Through two expert
consultations in February and April 2005, a regional
program for establishing an end-to-end multi-hazard
early warning arrangement was developed (EWS Program),
with the following program components:
- Regional monitoring and
evaluation of tsunamigenic seismic activity
and anomalous sea level conditions; tsunami
prediction and information communication to
participating countries; and regional severe
weather forecast research support for a multi-hazard
approach;
- Strengthening national capacities
in early warning, disaster management planning,
risk communication, and emergency response;
- Enhancing local capacities
to assess disaster risks, respond to warnings,
and undertake local risk reduction;
Regional exchanges of information, best practices
and lessons learned for cross-country learning
and to guide replication; and
- Research in all aspects
and elements of the end-to-end early warning
system to improve system performance and recipient
response
