Early Warning Systems Aid Malawi

In Malawi, the Community-Based Flood Early Warning System (CBFEWS) developed by SERVIR and its partners has significantly improved resilience to cyclones and flooding by integrating ground-based sensors with satellite data to provide a 15-day flood forecast. This locally-led initiative, which saved over $40 million during Cyclones Ana and Gombe in 2022, demonstrates the power of demand-driven climate adaptation in saving lives and protecting livelihoods.
