Localized flood early warning dissemination in Bangladesh

This booklet outlines Practical Action's work on flood early warning dissemination over many years, and how it has been exploring with local people what can be done to reduce the impact of flooding on the poorest, most flood-affected communities in Bangladesh.

In response to the Sendai Framework, the Bangladeshi government has developed multiple warning systems and has been a trailblazer in terms of effective early warning system (EWS) for hazards like cyclones. However, challenges remain around flood EWS and their ability to reach the last mile.
