This book documents seven examples of Early Warning Systems for
hydrometeorological and other hazards that have proven effective in
reducing losses due to these hazards. The cases studied encompass a
variety of climatic regimes and stages of economic development,
raging across the industrialized countries of Germany, France,
Japan and the United States, to Bangladesh, the island nation of
Cuba and the mega-city of Shanghai. Demonstrated characteristics of
these exemplary cases are synthesized into ten guiding principles
for successful early warning systems that will, it is hoped, prove
useful to countries seeking to develop or strengthen such systems
within their own borders.
