Drought Early Warning in Agri-Food Systems

چکیده
Droughts will increase in frequency, intensity, duration, and spread under climate change. Drought affects numerous sectors society the natural environment, including short-term reduced crop production, social conflict over water allocation, severe outmigration, eventual famine. Early action can prevent escalation of impacts, requiring drought early warning systems (DEWSs) that give current assessments sufficient notice for active risk management. While most droughts are relatively slow onset, often resulting late responses, flash becoming more frequent, their sudden onset poses challenging demands on DEWSs timely communication. We examine several at global, regional, national scales, with a special emphasis agri-food systems. Many these have been successful, such as some responses to 2015–2017 Africa Latin America. Successful examples show involvement stakeholders, from DEWS development implementation, is crucial. In addition, regional global cooperation cross-fertilize new ideas, reduce reaction time, raise efficiency. Broadening partnerships also includes recruiting citizen science seemingly subjective indigenous knowledge improve monitoring, data collection, uptake response measures. More precise useful prove even cost-effective averting need emergency improving food security.

Drought Early Warning Systems in the Context of Drought Preparedness and Mitigation
Drought is a normal part of climate and occurs in virtually all regions of the world. Recent droughts have illustrated the vulnerability of all parts of the United States to extended periods of precipitation deficiency. Drought preparedness planning has become a widely accepted tool for governments at all levels to apply to reduce the risks to future events. In the United States, planning has b...
متن کاملWG Early Warning Systems
Early Warning Systems aim at detecting unclassified but potentially harmful system behavior based on preliminary indications and are complementary to Intrusion Detection Systems. Both kinds of systems try to detect, identify and react before possible damage occurs and contribute to an integrated and aggregated situation report (big picture). A particular emphasis of Early Warning Systems is to ...

The use of mobile devices as an effective and targeted way for alerting the public in cases of disasters has become an important part of future infrastructures for early warning and disaster management. In contrast to classical alert approaches such as TV, Radio and sirens that are offering solely a one-directional communication the use of smart phones opens new potentials such as feedback mech...
