Regional Consultations Sub-Saharan Africa: Thematic area on Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems
As part of the Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), the UNDRR Regional Office for Africa sent out a questionnaire dedicated to Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS) at regional and continental level. The questionnaire was sent in September 2022 to all RECs, AUC and other regional organizations working on the topic.
The questionnaire focused on a regional perspective on actions taken, challenges ahead and key observations made by the organizations since the start of the implementation period and in anticipation for the future, focusing on three different perspectives. First, a retrospective review of progress made from 2015 to date; second, on new and emerging issues for DRR and EWS; third, a prospective review for reaching Target G until 2030 beyond.
