SomReP’s SAADAAL Early Warning System

SomReP’s SAADAAL Early Warning System responds to a major prevention challenge in Somalia, where climate and hazard risks can quickly escalate into displacement, livelihood loss, resource competition, and local tension when actionable information does not reach decision makers in time. Developed by SomReP consortium, SAADAAL brings together climate and hazard data from multiple sources to generate timely alerts, risk analysis, and decision support for communities, local authorities, and humanitarian actors. By turning complex early warning information into practical and accessible insights, it strengthens anticipatory action, supports locally led preparedness, and informs more timely policy and operational decisions. The session will invite onsite and online participants to compare how communities, local authorities, and humanitarian actors would respond to the same early warning alert, helping surface what data is most useful, for whom, and at what stage of prevention.
