Early Warning System

An Early Warning System (EWS) is a set of tools and processes designed to monitor various indicators—such as weather patterns, environmental changes, or social signals—that can predict potential disasters, crises, or hazards. Its purpose is to detect signs of trouble in advance, allowing authorities and communities to prepare, respond, and mitigate impacts effectively. By providing timely alerts, an EWS helps reduce risks, protect lives and property, and improve resilience to unforeseen events.
