Early Warning and the Human Factor - people-centered warning systems and awareness are key

Editor's Notes

  1. People are ultimately at the core of what the foundation’s work is all about. The foundation’s task is to minimize the risks to which they are exposed. It clarifies issues and provides support, also in developing countries. 
  2. Our activities concentrate on four fields. These reflect the demands made on the Foundation. Knowledge accumulation and implementation, Clarification and sensitisation, Networking, Direct help and support
  3. Underestimation (destructive power of the storm) Hope or set of beliefs Age Disability Fear of pilferage Inability to organize (e. g. large families) Lack of transportation Lack of willpower
