Integrated Early Warning System (IEWS)

An Integrated Early Warning System (IEWS) is a coordinated process that uses technology and data to detect potential hazards—such as floods, storms, or earthquakes—before they cause severe damage. It gathers information from various sources, analyzes risk levels, and then communicates alerts to communities and authorities, enabling timely preparations and responses. By integrating different monitoring tools and communication channels, IEWS helps improve disaster preparedness, reduce risks, and save lives. It’s a comprehensive approach that ensures relevant information reaches the right people at the right time, facilitating proactive management of potential emergencies.
