The Multi-hazard Early Warning Center (MHEWC) provides both 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 to prepare them for climate readiness (risk assessment, informed tools development, project design, and implementation);
- Design, install, and operationalize Multi-hazard Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
- Complete set of GIS, ICT databse tools based tools based comprehensive climate risk assessment( CRVA),
Develop CRVA ICT tools, manuals and conduct CRVA, capture risk elements (around 200 ) with GPS logger, GPS apps, and Drone (for aerial image captures), and prepare hardcopy GIS administrative base map with multiple layers (Risk and Resources), prepare field survey guidelines, strategically tracking field surveyors( With GPS) and strategically mobilizing them. Design and implementation of all appropriate participatory community consultation tools, participatory community level planning tools, conducting consultations with participatory rural appraisal (PRA), Conducting participatory Focus Group Discussion (FGD), Key Informant Interviews (KII), PRA, PLA, LLA tools over to screening climate frontline vulnerable community, vulnerable sectors, vulnerable communities, local enterprises, local green development stakeholders, local microcredit operators, SMEs, market operators, and utility services provides, etc, and capture data with hard templates & softcopy apps/database.
- Develop tools and support stakeholders how in conducting Multi-hazard risk assessment, Post-disaster damage, loss, and needs assessment (PDNA),
- Develop comprehensive informed tools /evidence-based tools ( GIS maps, database, tailormade information ) for Multi-hazard preparedness, response and recovery planning, sector-level
- Develop comprehensive informed tools /evidence-based tools ( GIS maps, database, tailormade information ) for Climate risk-informed integrated climate change adaptation (CCA) local government plans and budgeting system,
- Supporting local governments/sector departments/ local stakeholders in developing project concepts, designing appropriate projects, implementation guidelines, project steering structures, stakeholder engagement strategy, design procurement, implementation projects/schemes at local level, Monitoring, and evaluation(GIS & ICT-based), progress tracking of projects (GIS & ICT based) etc., on CCA, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Nature-based Solution(NbS), Locally led adaptation (LLA), Localizations of NAP related projects etc.
- Develop Methodology, Tools, Guidelines, design, and implementation of Impact based weather Forecasting (IBF) System
- Develop Methodology, Tools, Guidelines, design, and implementation of Forecast based Financing (FBF) System
- Develop Methodology, Tools, Guidelines, design, and implementation of Early Action Protocol (EAP)
- Develop Methodology, Tools, Guidelines, design, and implementation of Forecast based early action/Forecast based anticipatory action (AA) system
- Develop Methodology, Tools, Guidelines, design, and Installation of weather hybrid observations system
MHEWC provides support at the country level for the implementation of an integrated IBF system essentially to provide a one-stop solution for weather and climate information services. This robust IBF system essentially complements the WMO’s global efforts of transitioning from traditional weather forecasts to integrated impact forecasting, weather warning, alerting, and multi-hazard early warning system (MHEWS) extensively covering to last mile. The Robust IBF system is imperative for the Sendai Framework to full-scale Implementation and access of MHEWS weather warning, alerting, multi-hazard hotspot tracking, disaster hotspot tracking, and incidence/event situation reporting( apps based), activating early action protocol(EAP), forecast based anticipatory early action (AA), etc., with ICT based robust integrated IBF & FBF system at country level.
