Disaster Management QUESTION #6520
Question 1
In designing an Early Warning System for glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), which component represents the weakest link if neglected?
  • Satellite monitoring technology
  • Last-mile communication to remote communities✔️
  • Meteorological forecasting models
  • Data storage infrastructure
Correct Answer Explanation
While all components are important, Section 7.1 emphasizes that early warnings are only effective if they reach at-risk populations in accessible formats. For GLOFs in northern Pakistan, remote communities face communication challenges, making last-mile dissemination critical despite advanced detection capabilities.
