Flooding, extreme heat, and increasingly intense storms driven by climate change are severely undermining livelihoods, health, and social well-being, particularly among populations living below the poverty line. In contexts where institutional responses and political commitment remain limited, strengthening local capacities becomes critical. Establishing community-based hydro-meteorological monitoring stations and locally managed early warning systems is essential to improve real-time information, enhance community decision-making, and enable timely, life-saving actions. Empowering local actors with reliable climate data and response tools not only reduces vulnerability to extreme events but also strengthens resilience, preparedness, and long-term adaptive capacity at the community level.
