Providing early warning systems that lead to local early action: What works well at the local level?

This breakout session explores what it takes to achieve universal early warning system coverage by placing communities at the centre of early warning and early action. Through local stories from Kenya, Ethiopia, Indonesia and Nepal, videos and expert reflections, participants will examine barriers and solutions related to actionable warnings, coordination, and resources. Featuring community representatives, Red Cross actors, WMO and local organisations, the session highlights practical, locally led approaches that make early warning systems trusted, inclusive, effective, and capable of driving timely action.
