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

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!
