  1. Opportunities for capacity development in EWS and issues related to warning communication dissemination Lessons learnt from R3i project Challenges – 2 slides Opportunities – 4 slides How ? - 3 slides Recommendations – 1 slide

  2. Challenges • Multi-country : 11 territories: • All different in their exposure, vulnerability and level of preparedness. • Different capacity levels and absorption capacities : • Issue of time taken on DM staff for implementation of regional programs • Differences in legal context, languages etc.

  3. Challenges • On implementers side: • Short implementation periods • Regional integration purposes • Coordination and synergies with other regional initiatives • Complexity of EWS: • Legal and procedural aspects, • Disaster management aspects and coordination with response teams, • Hydro-met network and other warning origination institutions • Technical aspects • Notification mechanisms, medias etc • But above all: • “To Warn is Human” (Art Botterell) • A game of power and national sensitivities

  4. Opportunities • While countries participation for supporting information of regional entities has reached its limits (cumbersome questionnaires and regional workshops), there is a huge potential (mobilization capacity) at country and community level to develop adapted local solutions. • Technical solutions (IT) for networking exist and may provide a first step in coordination efforts. • Sector improvements in EWS may go alongside with Multi-hazard integration.

  5. Opportunities Warning System Warning System Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) Warning System Warning System Warning System Warning System Warning System Warning System Warning System Warning System Schemes taken from “to warn is human” – Art Botterell

  6. Opportunities • Single, simple and consistent facility for warning originators slide taken from “to warn is human” – Art Botterell

  7. Opportunities Country X CAP control system CAP control system CAP control system Abstract integration level Systemesd’alerte Warning systems Waarschuvigsystems CAP provides a level of abstraction allowing coordination between different countries, even if their warning systems differ.

  8. HOW ? -> Let’s try ! R3i may serve as a pilot project for the region

  9. HOW ? Simple capability levels defined by R3i for R3i purposes

  10. HOW ? • Work at local level R3i provides : - Access to expertise (experts like Art Botterell) - Harmonized technical requirements to allow interoperability of systems, security, possibilities of evolution, maintenance etc. - Regional coordination forums - Contractors : • Integrators : system design, • Systems vendors : warning systems installation What R3i does not provide:

  11. Summary Recommendations: • let’s try ! • Let’s simplify ! • To warn is human • Let the countries do what they best do for themselves

  12. Thank you !
