Background

Mercy Corps Indonesia is currently implementing Managing Risk through Economic Development (MRED) program (MRED) 13 villages located in South Dolo and Kulawi Subdistrict in Sigi District.

One of the activities for disaster risk reduction in the MRED program is community disaster preparedness through an early warning system for floods.

The early warning system that has been built consists of 3 units of Automatic Weather Station (AWS) which consists of Automatic Rain Gauge (ARG), temperature and humidity measurement tools. In the previous phase, Mercy Corps Indonesia had installed 14 units of sirens, 1 unit of Automatic Water Level Recorder (AWLR) and 10 units of data server monitor display website (http://ews.sigikab.go.id).
