The evolution of the early warning system Sample Clauses

The evolution of the early warning system. During the first year of the project, CCAP focused on bringing practical tools to the municipalities. One of these tools was a mobile-phone-based EWS developed by partner Human Network International to be specifically used by the municipalities of Pemba and Quelimane. Although successfully implemented, CCAP and the National Disasters Management Institute (Instituto Nacional de Gestão de Calamidades – INGC) quickly realized that an early warning system built for just two municipalities was not practical for two reasons. First, the scale would be too limited for INGC to manage it. INGC works at a national level and responds to natural disasters where they occur in Mozambique. If they were going to adopt the system, it would need to be deployable nationally. Second, the municipalities do not have the capabilities, or the mandate, to put in place a comprehensive disaster response operation on their own, so an EWS would be of limited use, and the cost of maintaining it at the optimal level of readiness could be beyond their capacity. At the same time, the EWS platform, with some adjustments in its purpose and application could provide the municipalities with a valuable tool to improve their capacity to collect relevant data and use it to make informed management decisions. These conclusions lead to an adjustment in the CCAP approach that lead the EWS to evolve along two separate streams. One, it became the Integrated Disaster Information Management System (Sistema Integrado de Gestão de informaç ão sobre Calamidades - SIGIC) with INGC as the primary partner, for the purpose of providing timely and reliable information for emergency response at the national level. And two, it became the foundation of the Integrated Urban Information Management System (Sistema Integrado de Gestão de informaç ão Urbana - SIGIU) with the municipalities—initially Pemba and Quelimane—as primary partners for the purpose of meeting data collection and primary analysis to improve decision-making at the local level. While most early warning systems are one-way information delivery platforms, the SIGIC is a two-way, mobile network solution that performs four critical emergency response and preparedness functions: (1) it provides status updates of the proximity of storms and instructions to those responsible for providing status information to INGC; (2) it collects critical information during the most severe period of the storm; (3) it engages the community in post-disaster response ...
