The Multi-hazard Early Warning System & Center (MHEWC) provides technical (voluntary & consultancy) support to the country level to design, install, and operationalize the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), develop the complete set of GIS and ICT tools based on comprehensive climate risk and vulnerability assessment( CRVA), Multi-hazard risk assessment, Post-disaster damage, loss and needs assessment (PDNA), multi-hazard preparedness, response and recovery planning, sector level and integrated climate change adaptation (CCA) local government planning and budgeting system, CCA, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Nature-based Solution (NbS), Locally led adaptation (LLA) etc.
MHEWS provides voluntary & consultancy (least cost) support services to country-level national disaster management organizations (NDMO), the National Meteorological and Hydrological Organization (NMHS), the National Met Agency, Sector Ministries, and Departments in the following technical areas;
1) Design, install, and operationalize Multi-hazard Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
2) Design set of ICT, GIS, IT database, GPS, and socioeconomic survey apps-based assessment tools and conducting comprehensive climate risk assessment (CRVA): Develop CRVA ICT tools and conducted manual and capture risk elements (around 200) with GPS data logger, GPS essential, Drone (for aerial image captures), and hardcopy GIS administrative base map with multiple layers (Risk and Resource). Conducting consultation with participatory rural appraisal (PRA), Conducting participatory Focus Group Discussion (FGD), Key Informant Interviews (KII), PRA, PLA, LLA methods with climate frontline vulnerable community, vulnerable sectors, vulnerable communities, local enterprises, local credit operators, SMEs, market operators, and utility services provides and captures data with hard & soft copy templates
3) Multi-hazard risk assessment, Post-disaster damage, loss and needs assessment (PDNA),
4) Multi-hazard preparedness, response and recovery planning, sector level
5) Climate risk-informed integrated climate change adaptation (CCA) local government planning and budgeting system,
6) Sector-specific CCA, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Nature-based Solutions (NbS), Locally led adaptation (LLA), etc.
7) Methodology, Tools, and Guidelines of Impact-based Weather Forecasting (IBF)
8) Methodology, Tools, and Guidelines of Forecast-based Financing (FBF)
9) Methodology, Tools, and Guidelines of Early Action Protocol (EAP)
10) Methodology, Tools, and Guidelines of Forecast-based Early Action/Forecast-based anticipatory action (AA)
11) Installation of weather hybrid observations system: The intended design aspect of an integrated IBF is to provide a one-stop solution for weather and climate information services. This robust Mongolian IBF system complements the WMO’s global efforts of transitioning from traditional weather forecasts to integrated impact forecasting, weather warning, alerting, and a multi-hazard early warning system (MHEWS) covering the last mile. The proposed IBF system is also imperative for the Sendai Framework to implement fully and access MHEWS and disaster risk information and assessments on the climate frontline.
