Early Warning and Food Information System  

Definition

  • Information The objective of an Early Warning and Food Information System is to permit better preparation for and response to disasters in disaster-prone countries. EWFIS should be conceived as an integral part of a disaster planning strategy in providing `sentinel' monitoring of agricultural production, markets, nutritional status and population movements. It also provides a capacity for the rapid assessment of emergency needs in the event of a disaster.
