📢 Only 108 countries have multi-hazard early warning systems – where are the rest?

In this powerful message, Kamal Kishore, Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction, calls for urgent action to close the early warning gap.

🎯 187 countries committed to the Sendai Framework in 2015 – but 79 are still without multi-hazard early warning systems.
🌀 Early warning saves lives – but only if it's timely, inclusive, and understood.
🗞️ Kishore highlights the critical role of media in making risk information clear, actionable, and accessible to all.

Let’s make Early Warnings for All a reality.

Every Day Counts, Act for Resilience Today.
