India Launches Multi-Hazard Early Warning System
The India Meteorological Department, under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, has launched a multi-hazard early warning system to improve disaster preparedness and response in India. This system facilitates timely and risk-based warnings for severe weather events via a variety of communication channels. Similarly, the Central Water Commission is enhancing flood forecasting with its new apps and digital platforms. While earthquake predictions remain elusive, efforts are ongoing to provide rapid post-event information. Dissemination strategies include using digital platforms, apps, and social media.
