About MHEWC

Mission and Vision of Multi-hazard Early Warning System Design & Implementation Center (MHEWC)

The MHEWC has just started its journey and intends to grow as a center of excellence in robust, technology-driven climate and multi-hazard risk management, with a local, last-mile context that considers geography, landscape, risk paradigm, impending risks, and vulnerabilities. MHWEC aimed to remove barriers to country-level multi-stakeholder coordination, sectoral misalignment, department-level coordination, and the engagement of local R&D and academia in risk management initiatives.

The Multi-Hazard Early Warning System Design & Implementation Center (MHEWC) is intended to support country-level efforts in removing barriers (institutional, stakeholder, local government sector departments, and humanitarian actors) and provide the most robust ICT-integrated technological solution for regional and local risk management.

MHEWC can conduct a comprehensive institutional assessment (climate and multi-hazard risk magnitude structure, institutional capacity/capability in risk assessment, informed-planning tools development, risk-informed local development planning), identify the institutional service delivery capacity, gaps, and provide a solid roadmap on where capacity building is needed and the types of interventions required.

MHEWC operates like a plug-and-play system, harmonizing local context and expertise to close country-level risk management gaps by deploying south-south expertise, knowledge, and tools, and sharing and delivering affordable solutions.

MHEWC promotes South-South knowledge sharing on climate & implementing disaster risk management for Asia, Africa, and Latin American countries.

1. Breaking down the Silo approach and establishing a local-level coordination system facilitated by mobile apps, online databases, and Geospatial maps, etc.
2. The Multi-hazard Early Warning System Design & Implementation Center (MHEWC) is intended to work as an independent and open-ended platform, removing all the barriers(institutional, stakeholders, local government sector departments, humanitarian actors ) and providing the most robust ICT-integrated technological solution to the regional risk paradigm.
3. We support for new installation, diagnose the existing system operational capacity and support for upgrading the country-level NMHEWC essentially be functional as an interoperable and integrated ICT online database system, geospatial platform (automated standard alerting system,  web-based database & apps based interface )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 elements.
4. The integrated NMHEWC implements a digital and virtual local risk governance system to overcome institutional coordination and data exchange barriers at every local government and administrative level, and will extensively cover last-mile, multi-stakeholder-led risk governance.
5. Diagnose existing hydrometeorological services, the met agency institutional capability, surface hydromet observation network, optional capability of national disaster management organization(NDMO), and the national flood forecasting and early warning capability, tropical storm and storm-surge warning process, and another multi-hazard early warning capability, etc. Develop a complete set of design documents for upgrading every system and process.
6. Diagnose institutional/stakeholder capacity in climate exposure, risk, and vulnerability assessment(CERVA), Post-disaster damage, loss, and needs assessment (PDNA), RPDNA. 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 by administrative layers of the county, developing multi-hazard maps/hazard prone maps, showing multi-hazard and climate hotspot, etc. Provide complete tools on how to improve the process and the MIS/GIS/Geospatial system.
7. Diagnose every climate-vulnerable sector department (Agriculture, crop agriculture, livestock, fisheries, water sector, health sector, WASH sector, environmental sector, and livelihood sector) and provide tools, methodologies, and processes for counting risks and vulnerability assessments of each sector. Provide an ICT-integrated solution for risk governance of each industry.
8. Integrated dashboard for NDMO/Local Government to monitor every element of the sector department on ongoing risk, vulnerability information, L&Ds inventory, impact level, and provide integrated Early Action Protocol (EAP), Forecast-based early anticipatory action planning, preparedness, response, and recovery efforts
9. Multi-hazard preparedness, response, and recovery planning at the sector level
10. Climate risk-informed integrated climate change adaptation (CCA) local government planning and budgeting system, appropriate scheme design, and implementation support
11. Provide a one-stop solution for project planning, design, budgeting, and schemes for the climate-vulnerable sectors on CCA, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Nature-based Solutions (NbS), locally led adaptation (LLA), etc.
12. Methodology, Tools, and Guidelines of Impact-based Weather Forecasting (IBF)
13. Methodology, Tools, and Guidelines of Forecast-based Financing (FBF)
14. Methodology, Tools, and Guidelines of Early Action Protocol (EAP)
15. Methodology, Tools, and Guidelines of Forecast-based Early Action/Forecast-based Anticipatory Action (AA)
