The delivery of user-tailored warning messages for heterogeneous user groups is a challenge rarely covered by hazard monitoring and Early Warning Systems (EWS) even though it is one of the four key elements of early warning systems identified by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR). This article describes the concepts of generic information logistics develo...

during the past decades, attempts have been made to develop an early warning system for coming destructive earthquakes a few seconds before the ongoing ground motion. in this paper, a practical method for the early warning of earthquakes in south iran is presented. this region is selected for study because it has high potential for generating earthquakes and has a more complete strong ground mo...

Drought information systems have multiple sub-systems which include an integrated risk assessment, communication and decision support system of which early warning is a central component and output. There are numerous drought systems warning systems being implemented at different scales of governance from the international to the community. An early warning system is much more than a forecast-i...

Early Warning Score Systems assign scores to a patient’s vital signs to detect adverse events in order to secure timely medical response. However, most systems do not account for variations in vital signs due to aging changes or sex differences, which affects the accuracy of current systems for different deteriorating patient sub-groups. We aimed to develop an Ageand Sex-Based Early Warning Sco...
