Launch Event: Handbook on the Use of Risk Knowledge for Early Warning

Effective Early Warning Systems (EWS) are crucial for disaster risk reduction, allowing timely action to mitigate the impacts of natural hazards. However, globally, the integration and use of risk knowledge in EWS remain underdeveloped, often leading to insufficiently tailored warnings that fail to address the specific vulnerabilities and exposures of affected populations and areas.

The Handbook on the Use of Risk Knowledge produced by UNDRR fills this gap as an integral part of the Early Warnings for All Pillar 1 toolkit. It provides practical guidance on how to incorporate risk knowledge effectively across all stages of EWS, ensuring that warnings are not only accurate but also contextually relevant and actionable. The Handbook focuses on key aspects such as impact-based forecasting, effective dissemination strategies, and anticipatory action planning, making it a practical and action-oriented resource for countries looking to enhance their EWS frameworks and processes.
