Starting Point for the Analysis of Early Warning In this example, we use a more local approach, we explain the steps involved in the analysis of the user needs and requirements associated with Early Warning. With this example we illustrate that a local approach can be used to populate the URR for an area centered around a single application. In terms of early warning, we need to have three main applications in place: (1) we need to be able to detect hazards in a timely manner; (2) for some hazards, we need to be able to predict the development of the hazard in space and over time; (3) we need to be able to disseminate the alerts and warning messages to those who need to take action (both systems and human beings). Of course, 'Early Warning' is linked to the broader application 'Disaster Reduction,' which is part of disaster risk management and risk-based planning. |
