Early Warning System: Your Lifesaver When Natural Hazards Occur

The wide adoption of mobile devices in recent years has driven the advancement of smart disaster prevention. According to a global research, mobile phone penetration has hit 90% in both developed and developing countries as of 2022. With the high density of base stations and cell broadcast services (CBS), alerts can be sent to people’s mobile phones within seconds.

What’s more, governments have made geospatial data accessible to the public through Open API, and people can access data such as disaster potential maps and risk index on the internet. AI technology, integrated model of disaster management and more are all expected to facilitate early warning systems and ensure effective disaster prevention and resilience.
