human and ecological systems, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
recommends developing and strengthening a people-centered early warning system.
This paper reviewed the practices of early warning systems to compile the finding of
different studies. The review was based on the review of journals and eight studies
conducted in different parts of the world on early warning systems and information
communication was included for review. According to the review, the formal early
warning system is little known among the communities and is unreliable and
inaccessible. Monitoring and warning services of early warning systems have limitations
and communication follows a top-to-bottom direction that hinders reaching their
intended community members and many households lack access to early warning
information. Besides, the early warning system faces challenges in providing sufficient
and appropriate responses. As a result, this review will provide information to
policymakers, planners, and other interested parties in order for them to act and
strengthen early warning systems. Consequently, countries should develop, evaluate,
and enhance a community-based early warning system that fulfills the expectations of
the community.
