Services Offered by MHEWC

1. Conduct country-level institutional and technical assessments of sector ministries and affiliated climate-vulnerable departments, including Disaster Management, Climate Change, Agriculture, Water Resources, Livestock, Fisheries, Agroforestry, Environment & Forest, Tourism, Health, Public Infrastructure, Communication Network, Social Development, Gender and other relevant sectors.

2. Assess national climate risk governance systems by reviewing relevant local government and planning institutions, including ministries responsible for local government, decentralized local authorities, development planning, economy and finance, and blue economy. This will include identifying institutional arrangements, coordination mechanisms, policy gaps, and operational capacities related to climate risk management, multi-hazard disaster risk governance, and resilience planning.

3. Develop robust strategies and support the design and implementation of informed climate risk management, disaster risk governance, and multi-hazard risk reduction systems.

4. Design and implement end-to-end Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS), including the installation and integration of Automated Weather Stations (AWS), hybrid weather and hazard monitoring systems, real-time sensor-based data ingestion, data-driven early warning systems, weather nowcasting services, hazard nowcasting services, and hazard event situation update mechanisms.

5. Develop methodologies, tools, guidelines, frameworks, and action plans for Impact-Based Forecasting (IBF), Forecast-Based Early Action, anticipatory action services, forecast-based emergency preparedness and response management systems, Forecast-Based Financing (FbF) mobilization, and Early Action Protocol development.

6. Develop forecast-based geospatial Decision Support System (DSS)-supported Standing Orders on Disaster (SoD), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and operational protocols for preparedness, response, and anticipatory action.

7. Design, implement, and operationalize fully automated systems for hazard detection, monitoring, prediction, multi-hazard analysis, and Disaster Emergency Operations Center (EOC) management.

8. Conduct climate and multi-hazard risk and vulnerability assessments to support evidence-based decision-making, sector planning, and resilience investment.

9. Design and implement geospatial platform-driven Decision Support Systems for disaster risk governance, climate risk management, and multi-hazard early warning operations.

10. Develop GIS maps, spatial databases, risk information systems, and analytical tools to support local governments and productive sectors in risk-informed planning, budgeting, investment prioritization, and climate-resilient development.

We would like to explore potential scopes of work and partnership opportunities with the National Disaster Management Organization (NDMO), Climate Change Department, and relevant sector ministries at the country level.

The Director( Relevant Agency)  

Dear Sir

Greetings from the Multi-Hazard Early Warning System Design and Implementation Center (MHEWC).

MHEWC provides technical solutions to strengthen Disaster Risk Management (DRM) governance systems, climate and multi-hazard risk management, and end-to-end early warning system design and implementation. We would be pleased to offer technical support to the  National Disaster Management Organization (NDMO) ( Climate Change and other relevant sector Ministries/Deparments)  in the following areas:

a) Upgrading NDMO ’s existing web portal into a geospatial, database-driven, and app-enabled Decision Support System (DSS) to support real-time disaster risk governance, planning, preparedness, response, and recovery management.

b) Conducting climate and multi-hazard risk and vulnerability assessments, including the preparation of geospatial hazard, exposure, vulnerability, and risk maps, and the establishment of a centralized risk information repository and database management system.

c) Assessing existing monitoring, observation, and early warning capacities and supporting NDMO in the installation, enhancement, and integration of observation networks, including Automated Weather Stations (AWS), hybrid weather and hazard monitoring systems, and sensor-ingested real-time data systems linked to a functional DSS.

d) Designing and operationalizing end-to-end multi-hazard early warning systems, including weather and hazard nowcasting services, impact-based forecasting, forecast-based anticipatory early action, forecast-based emergency preparedness and response management, forecast-based financing, Early Action Protocol development, and DSS-supported Standing Orders on Disaster and Standard Operating Procedures.

e) Supporting automated hazard detection, monitoring, prediction, and emergency operations management, including the design, implementation, and operationalization of a Multi-Hazard and Disaster Emergency Operations Center (EOC).

f) Developing GIS, database, and information tool-driven local government and productive sector-level risk-informed planning and budgeting systems to strengthen disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, nature-based solutions, locally led adaptation, and resilience planning.

g) Reviewing and upgrading multi-hazard preparedness, response, and recovery plans across administrative levels and relevant priority sectors, in alignment with NDMO’s institutional mandate and national disaster management priorities.

h) Providing any additional technical assistance as may be required by NDMO to strengthen national-to-last-mile disaster risk governance and early warning capacities.

We would welcome the opportunity to discuss NDMO’s priorities and explore how MHEWC can support the development of a practical implementation roadmap for strengthening multi-hazard early warning, risk information, and disaster risk governance systems.

We look forward to your kind response.

Sincerely,
