First CREWS SIEWAP Project Steering Committee Meeting and EW4All Peer Exchange
Samoa
Overview
The first project steering committee meeting is held for the CREWS Scale Up Inclusive Early Warning and Action in the Pacific (SIEWAP) Project on 9 March 2026 in Apia, Samoa to discuss, review and endorse the 2026 workplan of the project.
The CREWS SIEWAP project is a 4-year (2025-2028) regional CREwS Initiative-funded project in the Pacific whose primary objective is to scale up people-centred and end-to-end multi-hazard early warning systems (MHEWSs) across the Pacific.
The initiative covers Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.
Alongside the CREWS SIEWAP Steering Committee meeting, there was an Early Warnings for All (EW4All) Peer Exchange discussion for countries to exchange experiences and lessons learned in the development of MHEWS roadmaps. The session brought together government representatives (NMHS and NDMO) and regional partners to discuss progress and challenges in the roadmap development process and explore opportunities for resource mobilization.
