EW4All is a global initiative that aims to ensure that every human on Earth is protected from hazardous weather, water, and climate events by life-saving early warning systems by 2027.
Mrs Umar said the meeting was convened to align roles for Nigeria’s multi-hazard early warning system, strengthen Nigeria’s disaster risk management architecture and ensure seamless inter-agency collaboration.
Mr Maida said early warning systems were critical to protecting citizens from unplanned disasters, adding that joint action would deliver results with fewer resources.
Also speaking, the D-G of NIHSA, Umar Mohammed, described early warning as “national corps for preparedness”.
