Summary

This article outlines the early warning action carried out in Kanchanpur through the EWS establishment. Floods and landslides pose a significant risk to a majority of communities in Nepal. The Nepal Risk Reduction Consortium Flagship 4, Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR), is focused on supporting communities to reduce their vulnerability to natural disasters, particularly floods and landslides. A crucial aspect of reducing this vulnerability is ensuring a community-based early warning system (EWS) is implemented and sustained for upstream and downstream communities. Mercy Corps has been a leading partner in community-based early warning and CBDRR in Nepal.
