Resilience Begins with Preparedness. FOCUS’s Early Warning Systems

In the mountain valleys of Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral, a few minutes of warning can save a family’s home or a whole village.

Focus Humanitarian Assistance Pakistan (FOCUS) operates 84 early warning systems across the region, giving more than 20,000 people timely alerts about flash floods, avalanches, landslides and glacial lake outburst floods.

Watch to see how these systems work and how FOCUS works with communities to prepare and keep one another safe.
