  2. Disaster Risk Management FrameworkDerived fromHyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 Governance and Organizational Coordination and Cooperation Risk Identification Risk Reduction Risk Transfer PREPAREDNESS: early warning systems, emergency planning and response capacities MITIGATION AND PREVENTION: Medium to long term sectoral planning (e.g. building resilient infrastructure) CAT insurance CAT bonds Alternative Risk Transfer mechanisms Other emerging products Historical hazard data, analysis and changing hazard trends Exposed assets & vulnerability Risk quantification Information and Knowledge SharingEducation and training

  3. Global Coordination in Hazard Detection and Forecasting to Support Multi-Hazard EWS Global Observing System Coordinated Satellite System Global Data Processing and Forecasting System Global Telecommunication System

  4. Communication and Dissemination National Meteorological and Hydrological Services Media General public Private sector Government and civil defence authorities

  5. 4 What is an Effective EWS? 1 National to local governments supported by DRR plans, legislation and coordination mechanisms Community Preparedness 5 feedback preventiveactions 5 feedback 2 warnings warnings COORDINATION AMONGNATIONAL SERVICES 3 3 Meteorological Hydrological Geological Marine Health (etc.) 3 warnings feedback 5

  6. Effective Early Warning Systems National to local disaster risk reduction plans, legislation and coordination mechanisms are critical to ensure emergency planning and response involving 4 technical components

  7. National Example: Cyclone Preparedness Programme in Bangladesh

  8. Analysis of NMHSs’ Capacities, Gaps and Needs related to DRR and EWS • 139 National Meteorological and Hydrological Services participated: • Assessment of role of NMHSs as reflected in planning, legislation and national DRR coordination mechanisms; • Assessment of NMHS' capacities in observing, data management, forecasting and warning services; • Capacities to deliver products and services and warnings; • Assessment of NMHSs’ cooperation and coordination with other agencies and ministries.
