The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA), the International Federation for the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are today launching the re-designed Early Warning Systems Toolkit
This tool provides an overview of successful practices from the field relating to establishing EWS and presents guiding principles that will build a strong foundation for the design or strengthening of EWS at any level. Further, it creates a level of systemization within the region and provides guidelines, sample tools and reference documents for organizations and countries to source information relating to the development of EWS. Presently the toolkit comprises information within five sections one of which is a case study section and the remaining 4 being consistent with the 4 key components identified for the development and sustainability of a successful people centered EWS. The toolkit is based on information gleaned from project partners involved in the DIPECHO Action Plan over the years as well as existing resources on EWS. The toolkit is dynamic and will be updated periodically building on experience and knowledge generated through various activities at the country, regional and international level. The toolkit is not meant to be an operation guide but a strategic tool that guides decision makers relating to development of an EWS.
