The Multi-hazard Early Warning Center (MHEWC) provides technical support to the country level to design, install, and operationalize the Integrated National Multi-Hazard Early Warning System(NMHEWS). Making the country-level NMHEWS functional as an interoperable IT-online system to connect all relevant climate-vulnerable sector departments, diverse stakeholders, value chain operators, and frontline vulnerable communities to interact with an integrated system for weather forecasting, impact forecasting, operational forecasting, weather warning, and trigger classified alerts for last-mile elements. The integrated NMHEWS will be able to function at the local administrative level and extensively cover the last mile. The proposed NMHEWS system is intended to comply with the Sendai Framework and UNDRR EW4ALL initiatives of full-scale design and implementation of NMHEWC to instrumentalize, automate, and make it interoperable and interactive in an operational modality of all indicative 4 Pillar’s actions for creating a country’s robust multi-hazard and climate risk information management system.
This Organization specializes in developing a complete set of methodologies , tools ( GIS and remote Sensing maps, Aerial survey Drones and UAVs, GPS survey apps and instruments, socioeconomic survey apps, Key-informant interviews survey apps, Focus Groups, etc.), Guidelines, and processes of comprehensive climate risk and vulnerability assessment( CRVA), multi-hazard risk assessment, post-disaster damage/loss, needs assessment (PDNA), Rapid-PDNA, and sector level assessments, etc.
This Organization specializes in developing CRVA database (online geospatial & physical database with Oracle, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, etc.), repository (with database server) , GIS risk atlas, GIS maps on climate risk ranked being distibuted over the administrative layers of the county, developing multi-hazard maps/hazard prone maps, showing multi-hazard and climate hotspot, etc.
This Organization specializes in local government system, local govenece, capacity building in climate risk governance of all sector deparment(extension), diagnosing current Disaster Risk Management (DRM) planning paradigms, and providing one-stop solutions on multi-hazard preparedness, response, and recovery planning, sector-level and integrated climate change adaptation (CCA) local government planning and budgeting system, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Nature-based Solution (NbS), Locally led adaptation (LLA) planning, scheme/project/intervention design, implementation, monitoring mechanism, and result reporting system, etc.
MHEWC provides consultancy (least cost) support services to country-level national disaster management organizations (NDMO), the National Meteorological and Hydrological Organization (NMHS), the National Met Agency, Sector Ministries, and Departments in the following technical areas;
1) Design, install, and operationalize a Multi-hazard Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
2) Design set of ICT, GIS, IT database, GPS, and socioeconomic survey apps-based assessment tools and conducting comprehensive climate risk assessment (CRVA): Develop CRVA ICT tools and conducted manual and capture risk elements (around 200) with GPS data logger, GPS essential, Drone (for aerial image captures), and hardcopy GIS administrative base map with multiple layers (Risk and Resource). Conducting consultation with participatory rural appraisal (PRA), Conducting participatory Focus Group Discussion (FGD), Key Informant Interviews (KII), PRA, PLA, LLA methods with climate frontline vulnerable community, vulnerable sectors, vulnerable communities, local enterprises, local credit operators, SMEs, market operators, and utility services provides and captures data with hard & soft copy templates
3) Multi-hazard risk assessment, Post-disaster damage, loss and needs assessment (PDNA),
4) Multi-hazard preparedness, response and recovery planning, sector level
5) Climate risk-informed integrated climate change adaptation (CCA) local government planning and budgeting system,
6) Sector-specific CCA, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Nature-based Solutions (NbS), Locally led adaptation (LLA), etc.
7) Methodology, Tools, and Guidelines of Impact-based Weather Forecasting (IBF)
8) Methodology, Tools, and Guidelines of Forecast-based Financing (FBF)
9) Methodology, Tools, and Guidelines of Early Action Protocol (EAP)
10) Methodology, Tools, and Guidelines of Forecast-based Early Action/Forecast-based Anticipatory Action (AA)
11) Installation of weather hybrid observations system: The intended design aspect of an integrated IBF is to provide a one-stop solution for weather and climate information services. This robust Mongolian IBF system complements the WMO’s global efforts of transitioning from traditional weather forecasts to integrated impact forecasting, weather warning, alerting, and a multi-hazard early warning system (MHEWS) covering the last mile. The proposed IBF system is also imperative for the Sendai Framework to implement fully and access MHEWS and disaster risk information and assessments on the climate frontline.
