The Climate Risk & Early Warning System (CREWS) Initiative Joins the Risk-informed Early Action Partnership (REAP)

Impact-based forecasts that inform the public of what the weather will do rather than what weather will be are vital to save lives and livelihoods. Yet one in three people are still not adequately covered by early warning systems. Being prepared and able to act at the right time, in the right place, can save many lives and protect the livelihoods of communities everywhere, both now and in the future.
