We want to ensure that peoples’ livelihoods and assets can survive violent weather
'UNDP firmly believes that people should be at the centre of disaster risk reduction. We want to ensure that peoples’ livelihoods and assets can survive violent weather, by reducing their vulnerabilities to risk. That’s why UNDP and the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare, with funding from the Luxembourg government, are piloting early warning systems.
People will receive early warnings by text. Institutions at the national, provincial, district and village level will efficiently disperse information to vulnerable communities. The pilot project is starting in Vientiane, Attapeu, Bolikhamxay and Saravan provinces.'
