🌍 Island nations like Mauritius face growing threats from climate-driven disasters—especially in remote territories where traditional warning systems fall short.

In this video, we hear from:
🎙️ Prithiviraj Booneady, Acting Director, Mauritius Meteorological Services
🎙️ Jerome Louis, Director Engineering, ICT Authority

They explain how Mauritius is adapting to:
✅ Rising sea levels and shifting rainfall patterns
✅ Sudden-onset disasters like flash floods
✅ The need for faster, multi-channel alerts

💡 The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) is helping authorities coordinate across agencies and reach people through TV, radio, mobile networks, and social media—fast.

🚨 During Cyclone Chido in December 2024, these systems helped evacuate remote communities in time, proving that early warnings save lives.

📢 Learn how Mauritius’ 2024–27 National Action Plan is building resilience and setting an example for other Small Island Developing States.
