Waterproof 9: Early Warning
This 9th episode of Waterproof, my podcast for Partners for Water, is about early warning systems. There is a lot of technology available now that helps gather data about upcoming weather – floods, flash floods, drought, even flash droughts. Satellites are continually circling the earth, weather stations measure what’s happening on the ground, people post millions of weather events on social media and AI can crunch the numbers in the blink of an eye. That’s all great, but what about the last mile? How do you get the warning from the satellite to the farmer and the citydweller? Early warning is the new – digital – interface between climate science and us earthlings. Stories of early warning from all over the world in this next Waterproof!
