Summary
Details

Modern society faces numerous threats arising from a wide range of hazards, including hydrometeorological events, pandemics, and even extraterrestrial risks. Climate change has contributed to increasing the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme weather-related events, a trend that is expected to continue in the coming decades. When communities lack adequate preparedness, these hazards can escalate into disasters with severe social and economic consequences. Strengthening preparedness and response capacities has therefore become a central priority for governments and international institutions. In this context, early warning systems (EWSs) play a crucial role in enhancing community resilience and reducing disaster risks. Building Resilience Through Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems examines EWSs across a wide range of hazards, including meteorological and hydrological events, extraterrestrial hazards, geohazards, environmental, biological, technological, and societal risks. This book explores both qualitative and quantitative approaches applied across the different components of these systems. The analysis considers not only the individual components but also the role of EWSs as integral parts of broader risk and disaster management frameworks. Covering topics such as cognitive-adaptive warning systems, human perception models, and AI models in weather forecasts, this book is a critical academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, urban planners, non-profit organizations, policymakers, emergency responders, and more.
