Early warning system on extreme weather events for disaster risk reduction

Abstract

The objective of this research was to propose a strategy based on the design and implementation of an early warning system (EWS) for extreme weather events. This project had the following phases: training for municipal and regional actors, preliminary technical diagnosis of the study areas, monitoring network, and the weather forecasts using numerical models WRF and GFS. This EWS is the result of the Macro-project EWS for Climate Events in the basins of the Pamplonita River and Zulia in the North of Santander (SATC), executed by the University of Pamplona and financed by the National Risk Management Unit (UNGRD) and the German Cooperation Agency (GIZ). The research concluded that the application of a disaster risk reduction strategy through an EWS for extreme weather events is an important tool and instrument for the planning of higher risk management because it helps anticipate disasters and consequently preserve lives.

Diseño de sistemas de alerta temprana ante eventos extremos del clima. Experiencia SATC

“…La información hidroclimática del territorio presenta un déficit afectando la generación de alertas tempranas para prevenir y mitigar impactos a corto, mediano y largo plazo. Esta condición influye en la reacción que las autoridades pueden tener para enfrentar estas eventualidades (Ramón Valencia , Palacios González, Santos Granados, & Ramón Valencia, 2009).…”

“…Business architecture [17] For the knowledge of the risk, fig 2 contemplates in its different services elements of the alert systems with different subsystems [18], as alert, consisting of predictions and monitoring [19] of the dangers at the national level [20] and international [13], which produces scientific information that is transmitted to the national authorities in charge of disasters, the risk information subsystem, which allows generating the risk scenario and identifying potential impacts, as well as vulnerable groups and sectors that may be affected by the disaster, the communication subsystem, whose objective is to communicate timely information about the danger, with emphasis on vulnerable groups [6] and taking into account mitigation measures, potential risk scenarios and preparedness strategies. The preparedness subsystem, through which strategies and actions are developed to reduce the damage generated by the disaster.…”
