Early Warning System

Disaster Management

A mechanism or network designed to detect signs of an impending hazard and deliver timely alerts, allowing preventive action to protect people and heritage. For example, sensors that monitor environmental conditions (flood levels, seismic activity) or community-based warning protocols can give heritage site managers and local residents advance notice to secure collections or evacuate.
