Liberia: Advancing Early Warnings for All: 2025 updates
News was produced by: UNDRR
Liberia faces recurring floods, storms, and other hazards that threaten lives and livelihoods. In recent years, the country has intensified efforts to strengthen disaster preparedness and early warning systems through national leadership, regional collaboration, and community engagement. The Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative is at the heart of these efforts, supporting Liberia’s goal of protecting every person from disasters through timely, inclusive, and coordinated action.
Liberia’s progress under EW4All reflects an end-to-end approach that strengthens national institutions, improves risk knowledge and forecasting, scales up inclusive warning dissemination, and links early warnings to early action at community level. As the first country in West Africa to launch EW4All, Liberia is reinforcing observation networks, digital infrastructure, and multi-channel alerting, while embedding gender- and disability-inclusive design across all pillars. Supported by strong regional cooperation through ECOWAS and CREWS West Africa, and grounded in community-led preparedness and response, these efforts are helping Liberia translate forecasts into timely action during floods and storms, protecting lives and livelihoods and building resilience to growing climate risks.
