Early warnings save lives, but behind every alert is science.
Research underpins effective multi-hazard early warning systems, from enhancing knowledge of risks, detecting & monitoring hazards, to improving weather forecasts & communication.

Alerts were sent out within a few minutes of the Russia #earthquake, @UNDRR confirmed.
Although authorities have now downgraded the threat across #Japan, advice is for people to stay in shelters until the danger diminishes from continuing sea surges.

The impacts of disasters are intensifying. But resilience investments are still seen as costly or optional — until it's too late.
At GFDRR, we know: resilience pays off, even when disasters don’t strike.

Europe is warming faster than any other continent.
2024 was its hottest year on record —with devastating floods, extreme heat & wildfires.
The signs of human-induced climate change are clearer than ever, @WMO warns.
We need bolder #ClimateAction now.
