The critical issues are:
• Data collection
• Coordination
• Dissemination
Hold this thought, we’ll come back to it.

Multi-hazard Data and InformationMulti-hazard Data and Information
What does it mean:
• Sector specific warnings (flooding, health or seismic events)
• Multi-hazard events
• Earthquake followed by a tsunami
• Volcanic eruption followed traveling ash cloud (aviation & health impacts)
• Wide spread or prolonged flooding followed by disease outbreaks
• Long term events such as drought

“Last Mile”
This is the component having the greatest impact on outreach to people
Building or improving international / regional systems does little good without reliable robust national systems.
And vice versa!

To decision makers
To agencies responsible for preparatory and response activities
To the public (What do I do? Not science)
3 types of communications:
Pre-event (only for some events)
Real-time
Post event (Is the danger over? What do I do know?)
Integrated risk information
Automated alerting mechanisms: CAP - Common Alerting Protocol

Key issueKey issue
i) Need for proven operational telecommunication mechanisms at international and regional levels for exchange of critical data and information in support of early warnings for multi-hazards? Issues, needs, challenges, capabilities.
GTS/WIS is a key global infrastructure
An existing competency which should be leveraged for EWS and disaster risk and impact reduction

Within the GTS we work from the middle out.
We provide the infrastructure & basis to enable all the combined activities we support to be effective!
The GTS/WIS can provide the middleware of an effective, sustained, reliable multi-hazard EWS as part of an integrated disaster risk management / reduction strategy!

Data availability is a critical need both for local data getting “out” and “outside” data getting in!
These programs we are discussing simply will not be effective or sustainable without sound infrastructure – middleware!
The GTS/WIS today reaches out to and supports 187 countries and numerous organizations!

iii) Challenges of developed and developing countries, related to resource requirements for development of warning communication and dissemination capabilities?
Don’t forget legacy technologies.
Low tech is often affordable tech as well as maintainable tech and often already exists.
Utilize existing capabilities while growing new ones.
Identify existing core capabilities and build to create sustainable EWS

The payback is 5 times in post disaster response costs.
The systems will pay for themselves.
More importantly we will save lives and property and reduce suffering.
