摘要

With climate change underway, the need for early warning systems (EWS) has become crucial for real-time monitoring and forecasting of natural disasters like storms, droughts, and floods. The United Nations (UN) considers EWS cost-effective tools that save lives and has launched the Early Warnings for All initiative to ensure global protection by 2027. This paper stems from a collaboration with the CIMA Foundation (CIMA), which re-engineered its EWS, MyDewetra, to address new requirements and growing data and user demands. We describe the system’s evolution, focusing on its updated architecture and technical aspects. The re-engineered MyDewetra was evaluated through qualitative and comparative analysis, showing improvements in development effectiveness, user experience, maintainability, reliability, and security.
