Fiji Advances Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems Through National Dialogue On Common Alerting ProtocolThe Government of Fiji, through the National Disaster Risk Management Office (NDRMO), in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), convening a three-day workshop marking an important milestone in Fiji’s efforts to strengthen its national early warning system under the global Early Warnings for All (EW4ALL) initiative. The National Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) Workshop and National Dialogue on Fiji’s Multi-Hazard Early Warning System – a key step towards implementing Fiji’s Multi-Hazard Early Warning System Roadmap and strengthening national resilience to climate-related and natural hazards – brought together government agencies, telecommunications providers, broadcasters, technical experts, development partners and key stakeholders. As climate change intensifies the frequency and severity of many of these hazards, the need for effective, timely, and people-centred early warning systems has never been greater. UNDP Pacific Office Deputy Resident Representative, Abduvakkos Abdurahmanov said:“An early warning system is only as effective as the last person it reaches. The workshop is being delivered under Fiji’s Early Warnings for All (EW4ALL) project, a Green Climate Fund-supported initiative led by UNDP and the Government of Fiji to strengthen multi-hazard early warning systems nationwide.
