A core element in weather-proof and climate-compatible decision making: impact-based warnings. The paper provides a solid review - suggested reading beyond the academic community, indeed.
Early warning systems for natural hazards are crucial for reducing impacts. Warnings should be combined with impact forecasts to capitalize on multi-hazard / compound event impacts. See our review here, including heat, storms, floods, earthquakes: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…
