Strengthening Disaster Risk Mitigation Through Automation: A Case Study On STREAM-EWS In Mindanao

Access to timely and accurate information can save lives, yet many remote disaster-prone communities lack reliable communication systems. Too often, traditional methods, such as public announcements often fall short when rapid response is needed.

For years, one of the biggest challenges in disaster preparedness has been the absence of real-time, tech-based early warning systems. A 2022 study by People in Need (PIN) found that many local governments in the Philippines still lack the technology for automated hazard alerts. Without it, communities remain vulnerable, unable to take precautions before disaster strikes.
