Preparedness (saving lives): early warning systems emergency planning and response
Prevention (Reduction of economic losses): Medium to long term sectoral planning (e.g. zoning, infrastructure, agriculture)

Information and Knowledge SharingEducation and training across agencies
Alignment of clear policies, legislation, planning, resources at national to local Levels (Multi-sectoral, Multi-agency)

Early Warning Systems Require Coordination Across Many Levels and Agencies
National to local disaster risk reduction plans, legislation and coordination mechanisms

10 Basic principles for effective Early Warning Systems
1. Political recognition of the benefits of EWS along with effective planning, legislation and budgeting
2. Effective EWS are built upon four components:(i)) hazard detection, monitoring and forecasting;
(ii) analyzing risks and incorporation of risk information in emergency planning and warnings;
(iii) disseminating timely and “authoritative” warnings with clarity on the responsibilities and mandate for issuance of warnings;
(iv) community emergency planning and preparedness and the ability to activate emergency plans to prepare and respond
3. Roles and responsibilities of all EWS stakeholders and their collaboration mechanisms clearly defined and documented
4. Capacities aligned with resources across national to local levels (sustainability)
5. Hazard, exposure and vulnerability information are used to carry-out risk assessments at different levels
6. Clear, consistent and actionable hazard warnings, with risk information and issued from a single recognized authoritative source
7. Timely, reliable, redundant and sustainable warning dissemination mechanisms
8. Emergency response plans targeted to the individual needs of the vulnerable communities, authorities and emergency responders
9. Regular training and education programmes in risk awareness and emergency response actions
10. Effective feedback mechanisms throughout levels of the EWS for system improvement over time
10 Basic principles for effective Early Warning System (Continued)

Coordination and Cooperation with National Hydro-Met Services
Increasing Level of coordination with technical agencies for early detection, monitoring and development of warnings
Type I Type II Type III
Hazard fully under the
mandate of NMHS
e.g. strong winds, strong rainfall, snow/ice, hail,
tropical cyclone
Hazard under joint mandate with another
technical agency
e.g. floods, landslides,
heat/health etc.
Hazard under mandate of
other agencies but NMHS contribute
e.g. locust, health epidemic, man-made hazards
Increasing Level of coordination with civil protection and risk management agencies for issuance of warnings

Initiatives and pilot projects in RA IV
Central America
The Caribbean
Early Warning Systems with Multi-Hazard Approach Pilot Project – Central America
• Pilot Countries: – Costa Rica (World Bank Funded)
– El Salvador (NOAA – USAID funded)
– Mexico (Government and NOAA – USAID funded)
• National multi-agency cooperation (Met/Hydro/DRM)
• Multi-level (Regional, National, Local)• Focus: Flash Flood-Riverine Flood Warning Systems• Partners: WMO, NOAA-NWS, UNDP, World Bank
The Caribbean
Where ? Strengthened coordination and cooperation across British, French,
Dutch and Spanish Speaking countries and territories
Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermudas, the British Caribbean Territories, the Caribbean Netherlands, Cuba, Curacao,
Dominica, the Dominican Republic, the French West Indies, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint-Marteen, Saint Vincent
and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago.
Who? Key Stakeholders in Multi-Hazard EWS in the Caribbean
National: • National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) and Disaster Risk
Management (DRM) Agencies and other key ministries of the beneficiary countries.
• Other EWS stakeholders such as media, economic sectors (health, agriculture,) (TBD)
Regional:
• Regional centers and agencies of CARICOM: CDEMA, CMO and its CIMH;
• WMO RA IV and its DRR Task Team, WMO RA IV Hurricane Committee, the WMO RSMC – Miami Hurricane Center
• Regional agencies and platforms: ACS, OAS, the Eastern Caribbean Donor Group, Caribbean Development Bank (CDB)
• Other regional partners (TBD)
International and donors:
• UN and International Agencies: WMO, UNESCO-IOC, UN-ISDR, UNDP, IFRC, etc.
• Bi-lat donors and development banks: IADB, World Bank, USAID/OFDA, Canada (CIDA), Finland (MFA), Spain (ACE), Japan (JICA), UK (DFID), EU, Italy, France, etc.
What?
Topics for Strengthening Multi-Hazard EWS at National and Regional
• Policy, legal, legislative issues pertaining to DRR and role of NMHS
• Risk Assessment and Modeling, including data management and exchange issues
• Operational Cooperation of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services and Disaster Risk Management Stakeholders (DRM agencies and other ministries and technical agencies)
• Observing, Monitoring, Forecasting capacities• Coordination of Watch and Warning Systems in the
region

Commission for ClimatologyExpert Team CIARM
• to improve decision-making for planning, operations, risk management and for adaptation to both climate change and variability (covering time scales from seasonal to centennial)
• The activities undertaken under CIARM primarily focus on the development of tailored climate information, products and services for user application in adaptation and risk management
• These activities provide key contributions to the User Interface Platform (UIP) component of the Global Framework for Climate Services
• Co-chairs: Rodney Martinez (Ecuador) and Albert Martis (Curaçao).
