Satellite-based disaster early warning systems can improve evacuation measures in remote Asian communities

Communities in Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Mongolia, where conventional ground-based telecommunication systems have limited reach, are prone to disruption during extreme disaster events, and warning information is often unclear, distorted, or delayed. Researchers have investigated the factors affecting the dissemination of early warning information and how these hinder community evacuation. Their study was published on 27 April 2023 in the journal Emergency Management Science and Technology.
