"Technology alone cannot save lives — early warnings must lead to early action.”

In a new #PreventionWeb blog, GNDR’s Shivangi Chavdaa argues that public engagement is what transforms forecasts into resilience.

#EarlyWarningSystems #EW4All
Why early warnings don’t always lead to early action: The missing link of public engagement
Too often, early warning systems are built as technical tools, not community systems. They are driven by data, forecasts, and algorithms - but they fail to ask: will people understand and act on this?

Disasters are not gender neutral. Women are on the frontlines from prevention to recovery, organizing relief, protecting their communities, & demanding preventative measures.
