#NewBlog The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA)INDIA is focused on actions to strengthen local preparedness as heat risks worsen across the country. Last month, NDMA convened a two-day National Workshop on Management Interventions and Mitigation Strategies for Heat Wave in New Delhi. Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)'s Vijay Limaye, PhD and NRDC India's Abhiyant Tiwari and Ritika Kapoor, PhD write about the workshop that enables knowledge exchange amongst the country’s leading experts on heat resilience.

Pushing for improved national heat wave warning systems: Advocating for advanced early warning systems is crucial in heat wave management. This post discusses AIDMI's efforts in demanding for state-of-the-art warning technologies and systems, and how they can save lives by providing timely alerts to vulnerable populations. #heatwave #climatechange #preparedness All India Disaster Mitigation Institute #urbandevelopment #earlywarningsystems #extremeheat #cities #earlywarningsystems #vulnerable #climateaction

Heatwaves in South Asia: Observing and discussing the dynamics of heatwaves is crucial for improved heatwave governance and humanitarian responses As the frequency and intensity of heatwaves surge across South Asia, understanding their dynamics becomes ever more crucial. 'Heatwaves in South Asia: Observing and discussing the dynamics of heatwaves' by Mihir R. Bhatt, Vishal Pathak, and others, invites us to examine the crucial role of observation and dialogue in enhancing heatwave governance and humanitarian responses. Key insights include: - The necessity of nuanced observation to understand the multifaceted impacts of heatwaves. - The importance of dialogue among stakeholders to foster effective governance strategies. - The potential for innovative approaches in humanitarian responses to protect vulnerable communities.

Upcoming Webinar Alert: 🔔 Here’s an interesting dialogue on chemical disaster management on October 6. P.S: Climate change, disaster management will remain close to me, thanks to my parent Dr. Ramesh V M, PhD. #prouddaughter #disastermanagement #climatechange

On September 11, 2024, All India Disaster Mitigation Institute (#AIDMI) will host a virtual roundtable titled, “Accelerating Extreme Heat Responses: Key Perspectives from India.” Extreme heat is rising faster than solutions are being implemented to address the health impacts of heat. This event will feature a panel to discuss how extreme heat disproportionately affects vulnerable populations; how region-specific heat action plans can be tailored to build community resilience; and how sustainable, long-term solutions can be implemented to manage extreme heat, including climate-smart infrastructure, public-private partnerships, and improved early warning systems. Register today! -Date/Time: Wednesday, September 11, 2024, 04:00 pm to 05:30 pm (IST) -Location: Zoom -Registration: https://lnkd.in/e-29zFAR For more information, please visit #AIDMI’s website: https://lnkd.in/disycZFt

« It’s not what weather will be but what the weather will do » That what was stated at the Workshop « Synergizing efforts: A collective national approach to EARLY WARNING SYSTEM in Lebanon » organized by Lebanese Red Cross, Disaster Risk Management Unit at the Predidency of the Council of Ministers, National Early Warning System Platform CNRS, and Lebanese Meteorological Department on Friday 19th of April 2024. Why Early Warning Systems are important? 1- Help detect and predict natural disasters. 2- Provide vital information to authorities and communities to take timely action to protect lives and property. 3- Issue alerts in advance to help reduce the impact of disasters and mitigate the effects. 4- Improve disaster preparedness and response effects, enabling efficient evacuation and resource allocation. 5- Contribute to save lives, minimizing economic losses and enhancing overall resilience in the face of natural hazards. 6- Enhance global resilience. The remarkable collaboration and unity driving Lebanon’s Early Warning System, catalyzing proactive measures on a national scale, it underscored the imperative for stronger governance support. #DRR #disasterriskreduction #earlywarningsystem #climatechange #resilience

A strong cold spell is forecasted to hit the northern region, with temperatures falling to below 10 degrees Celsius. The National Centre for Hydro-meteorological Forecasting has warned of temperatures dropping to between 13-18 degrees Celsius in the northern low-land areas and central localities from Thanh Hoa to Nghe An provinces, with even colder temperatures in the northern mountainous areas. The East Sea, including the Paracel and Spratly islands, is also expected to experience strong winds and high waves. The National Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control and Search and Rescue has issued dispatches to coastal provinces to prepare for rescue activities. #AsiaRisk #ExtremeWeatherEvents #Vietnam Follow us for daily updates on risk and operations in Asia! https://lnkd.in/dik7Megt

Disaster Management… Hyperspectral Imagery is the solution for analysing the effects and after effects of any Natural or Manmade Disasters… Now the catch is…it just can’t penetrate or bypass the weather conditions like clouds or heavy rains plot heavy mist which usually occur during most of these natural Disasters specially in Indian AOR… Can SAR be the answer to these issues…Important question and soliciting answers…only practical or ground tested answers please

According to the World Meteorological Organization: 📳The damage caused by a disaster can be reduced by 30% if an #earlywarning is issued within 24 hours. 💰Globally, we could avoid losses of US $3-16 billion per year through #earlywarningsystems. In a world facing increasing risks, global organizations are sounding the alarm and emphasizing the four essential pillars of end-to-end, people-centered Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (#MHEWS): 1⃣ Disaster risk knowledge 2⃣ Detection, observation, monitoring, analysis, and forecasting 3⃣ Warning dissemination and communication 4⃣ Preparedness and response capabilities At Intersec, we can help you ensure real-time situational awareness, instant dissemination, and efficient disaster response.
