A successful EWS protects lives and livelihoods, as well as land and infrastructure, and contributes to long-term sustainability. Early warning systems help to reduce economic losses and mitigate the number of injuries or deaths from a disaster, by providing information that allows individuals and communities to protect their lives and property. Early warning information empowers people to take action when a disaster closes to happening. An early warning system is a climate change adaptation measure that utilises integrated communication technologies to assist communities in preparing for potentially dangerous climate-related events.
