Hybrid training course on multi-hazard impact-based forecast and warning systems
- English
The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) jointly collaborate with Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) to deliver this training course. it equips professionals with the tools and knowledge to create, manage, assess, and refine people-centric, end-to-end early warning systems tailored for hydro-meteorological, geological hazards, and extreme events linked with climate fluctuations and change. Drawing from ADPC's rich experience in disaster management, regional collaboration, and institutional and community capacity-building, the course leverages the center's proficiency in harnessing weather and climate data for disaster risk reduction. The training aims to enhance participants' abilities to design robust multi-hazard early warning systems, ensuring strategies to lessen the blow of hydro-meteorological and geological disturbances in support of the Early Warnings for All initiative of the United Nations.
