Recognizing the need to continue advocating for the implementation of multi-early warning efforts around the world, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 included a dedicated Priority 4 to confront the steady growth of disaster risk, including the increase of people exposed to hazards and the exposure of assets. At the national level, the Sendai Framework calls for efforts to be implemented “to invest in, develop, maintain and strengthen people-centred multi-hazard, multisectoral forecasting and early warning systems, disaster risk and emergency communications mechanisms, social technologies and hazard-monitoring telecommunications systems.”
