Challenges and Collaborators
1. Lacking local data (e.g. rainfall) in some places because EWS (e.g. rain gauges)
are not available.
2. Need for convergence of flooding management plans from various agencies tosynchronize and pool resources.
3. Craft a data sharing policy
4. International collaborators for capacity development of youth (students) andIndigenous people on disaster literacy and EW4ALL.
