  Early Warning Systems and Disaster Preparedness Early warning systems (EWS) for disaster preparedness As climate change intensifies, extreme weather events frequency and severity increase, making early warning systems (EWS) a vital tool for disaster preparedness and risk reduction . EWS uses technology, data, and communication networks to predict hazardous events and disseminate timely alerts, enabling individuals and communities to take proactive measures to minimize loss of life, property damage, and disruptions. This section explores the components of effective early warning systems, highlights successful case studies, and examines the challenges and opportunities in implementing and scaling these systems. The Four Pillars of Early Warning Systems The effectiveness of early warning systems (EWS) is built upon four key components identified by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). First, risk knowledge is crucial, as it involves understanding the specific hazards...
