In the first blog of our Action to Impact series, @ISETInt's Toan Vu explains how the team has been working with people across different scales to leverage technology to increase community resilience to floods, and the impact this work has had. Read here➡️zcralliance.org/blogs/action-t…

Despite major investments, why do many EWS still fall short in reaching the people most at risk? A new report from @EarlyActionREAP and the @ZCRAlliance explores what’s missing to make EWS more inclusive, sustainable & people-centered. 👉ow.ly/Lp4n50Wyolf

In Hue City, Vietnam, smart flood towers send real-time alerts, even during blackouts, helping protect the most vulnerable. Made possible through strong collaboration between local communities, Hue DRM Office, ISET & private company. 👉 ow.ly/NNwE50W0Gk4 @ZCRAlliance

With ISET’s support, the Hue DRM Office installed Vietnam’s first high-powered flood sirens, and secured rare government approval and funding to scale the system city-wide. Check out @ZCRAlliance latest impact report: ow.ly/6TP850WqXxC

Heavy rain last month caused widespread flooding in #CentralVietnam. Our report “New Disaster Patterns, New Resilience Needs" on the 2020 floods offers insights on key resilience challenges and practical recommendations. 👉ow.ly/MBGW50Wltlw @ZCRAlliance

Ghe Chim canal cleanup in An Khánh ward, #CanTho city, #Vietnam improved water flow, reduced flood risk, strengthened community awareness, and supported a healthier, more climate-resilient city. 🔗 ow.ly/jOzr50Wbo9x #ClimateResilience #CanTho #ZCRA

We were delighted to co-host with @PlanVietnam & @zfoundation at #GPDRR25 and welcome the Vietnamese delegation led by Vice Minister Nguyen Hoang Hiep. It was a great chance to share @ZCRAlliance’s work in #Vietnam and strengthen #resilience & #DRR efforts nationwide.

Strong governance structures and well-coordinated institutional frameworks can enhance the effectiveness of #EarlyWarningSystems. @ISETInt is partnering with local governments and provincial agencies in Vietnam to make such systems more cohesive, inclusive and sustainable.

For #EarlyWarningSystems to save lives and build resilience, they must be rooted in what communities need, ensuring that the diverse needs and concerns of different groups shape the development of these systems and support the achievement of “early warnings for all”. #GP2025

In recent years, floods in #Hue, #Vietnam exposed risks from both #climatechange & rapid urbanization. ISET mapped high-water marks from recent floods to fill data gaps & support better planning and early warnings. #EWS #CRMC @ZCRAlliance 🔗 Learn more: ow.ly/ejCJ50W2pMr

In Huế City, we work closely with the city DRM office to enhance flood #earlywarningsystems through the installation of: ☑️Automatic water level gauges ☑️ Smart flood warning towers ☑️ High-power warning sirens Find out more: ow.ly/nEEN50W0FUU

Understanding the specific hazards and vulnerabilities affecting a population is vital to mitigating the risks communities face. @planphilippines worked with young people to take a proactive role in identifying and assessing their exposure to risks. @PlanGlobal

Climate hazards are on the rise, but a people-centred approach to Early Warning Systems holds the key to protecting communities and ensuring a safer future for all.

"Technology must improve how we collect, process & share flood warnings—making them accurate, timely & accessible," emphasized Dr. Toan Vu at #Vietnam ’s national workshop on flood risk. He also shared some tech-driven solutions pilot project from the #ZCRA at the event #DRR #EWS

Nhơn Phú Ward in Bình Định, #Vietnam, now has its first comprehensive ward-level #flood evacuation map and plan! Discover how these plans and maps strengthen #resilience and local communities' flood preparedness! 👉ow.ly/Ux8K50VyGXJ #EarlyWarningSystem @ZCRAlliance

As a @ZCRAlliance partner since 2018, @ISETInt is building climate resilience through program design, implementation, evaluation, and learning. Read more about the various roles ISET plays within the Alliance ➡️ i-s-e-t.org/zurich-climate…

Early warning systems are vital for protecting lives & infrastructure from floods. ISET is enhancing Hue City’s EWS by integrating redundancy, boosting reliability & resilience. See how it's making an impact: ow.ly/ME9050UA95F @ZCRAlliance #ClimateResilience #EWS

We are proud to be a member of the Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance! Formerly the Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance, @ZCRAlliance work with communities to influence policies and practices which enhance resilience to climate hazards. Find out more – ZCRAlliance.org

Our latest learning report focuses on how @floodalliance teams have collaborated to apply resilience data tools and approaches and use the resulting data and information for impact. Take a look at the lessons and case studies here: floodresilience.net/resources/item…
