“…Volunteer based warning dissemination was agreed to be an effective solution to reach the very rural areas where current technologies are either not available or people"s ability to understand warning messages is limited. During FGDs it 30 was recognised that multiple reinforcing communication mediums are needed to reach everyone at risk (Oktari et al, 2014).

“…It is now possible in the short term by correlating WLs of the forecasting stations with hydrometric stages placed at the locations where specific warnings have to be issued to. In 10 the long term, a dense forecasting network should be developed by FFWC/BWDB, ensuring a good flood forecasting coverage as identified by Oktari et al (2014) and Shah et al (2012). High resolution DEMs are needed for mapping (forecasted) inundation areas (Kwak et al, 2015;Fakhruddin et al, 2015;Koks et al 2015;Bhuiyan and Al Baky, 2014).…”

Abstract. Impact-based forecasting and warning services aim to bridge the gap between producers and users of warning information by connecting and increasing synergies between the components of effective early warning systems. We tested qualitatively whether a warning message based on colour codes is understandable and useful to trigger risk mitigation 15 actions at the local level in the flood-exposed communities of Rajapur and Ghorjan unions in Sirajganj district, Bangladesh.With a community-based approach for different groups of users (i.e. sectors), flood-impact scenarios were determined from past events and related to colour codes. These were developed into impact-based forecasting and warnings that can connect water levels, through the colour code, to localised guidance information tailored to sectors" needs on how to respond to the expected flood. This approach was tested through a limited number of focus group discussions and interviews at the 20 community level. Overall, the colour coded impact-based warnings were found to be an easy and understandable way to link water level forecasts to the necessary risk mitigation actions, however, further investigation is needed to validate these findings under real-time conditions. IBFW has huge potential in Bangladesh but its integration requires significant institutional changes, such as an inter-facing agency (long term) or team (short term), adjusted policy frameworks (standing orders on disasters), and new resource allocations for skills development and technological innovation from national to local 25 levels. Overall, this paper aims to offer a first insight into impact-based forecasting and warning services in Bangladesh to trigger further research and project developments.

This study aims to describe the effectiveness of external communication on the Regional Disaster Management Agency at Padang city (BPBD) in Implementing of Tsunami Early Warning System. The organization external communication's problem in implementing tsunami early warning system became the background of the study. The lack of public understanding about tsunami early warning, unorderly in the evacuation, the reluctance in using the shelter as the evacuate place and the decreases number and quality of communication media in implementing tsunami early warning system by BPBD. This descriptive research is using a quantitative method in which the population is the people residing in the tsunami hazard zone area. The sample, the cluster random sampling technique is used. The data were collected using a questionnaire and measure with Likert scale and supported by documentation study. The results showed that the effectiveness of external communication on Regional Disaster Management Agency of Padang City in implementing the tsunami early warning system is quite useful. The efficiency of 65.48 is in the range of 60-79.99. There are two ineffective factors. First, the community action (taken from effective communication's indicator) showed the value is 59 which means the sign is in the range 40-59.9 9. The second is from affect factors of the effective communication with value 59.66 means the indicator is in the range 40-59.9 9.
