Antalya (Turkiye), Nov 11: Ensuring inclusive, effective and community-friendly early warning system has been stressed to reduce growing hazards and human causalities. 

During a discussion on ‘From Bhotekoshi to Resilience: Strengthening Inclusive Multi-Hazard Early Warning System in Nepal’ organized at the Nepal Pavillion under COP-31 here today, the speakers spoke on the need of strengthening early warning system with access, technology, institutional cooperation and financial resource management.

On the occasion, chief executive officer of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, Dharma Raj Uprety, shared that the government had forwarded the policy-level, institutional and technical preparations to make early warning system more effective. A robust system is imperative to regularly monitor temperature, glaciers and other natural process in the Himalayan region, according to him.

Similarly, executive director of Rural Oriented Youth Movement Nepal, Luv Raj Neupane, argued that although there is a government agency in Nepal for disseminating disaster-related early warnings, the system relaying such information to community-level has not been inclusive and effective.   

He added that District Disaster Management Committees, local disaster management committees and ward-level committees under the Home Ministry have the responsibility to disseminate disaster-related information at communities where there is much dependency on mobile messages.
