The Benefits of Early Warning Systems in Reducing Risks for the Population in Southeast Asian Countries

Abstract

The impact of natural disasters continues to increase at a rapid pace, driven by the climate emergency. The Early Warning System (EWS) is a proven measure to reduce disaster risk and adapt to climate change. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) emphasizes that early warning systems play an important role in reducing human hazards by providing timely information and rapid response to disasters from climate change. This article will analyze the Early Warning System (EWS) and its benefits in reducing human-centered hazards in Southeast Asian countries. In addition, the article will present statistics and charts illustrating the benefits of this system in some Southeast Asian countries.
