Hybrid methodology for flood early warning indicators
This paper presents a hybrid methodology for the definition and validation of flash flood indicators and thresholds, combining hydrodynamic modeling with community participation. The proposed approach was developed within the framework of implementing Community-based Early Warning Systems in the Lusitania and Providencia neighborhoods -flood-prone areas- located in Manizales, Colombia. From the technical perspective, a hydraulic model was built i…
Towards integrating community and institutional flood early warning systems
Flood Early Warning Systems are critical for reducing flood risk because they generate efficient and timely hazard warnings. The importance of involving local vulnerable communities in designing, implementing, and managing these systems has been recognized in research and practice. However, community-based flood early warning systems are sometimes initiated and operated by the communities themselves, ignoring, either deliberately or not, related …
Empowering communities through citizen science
Official organisations typically manage institutional early warning systems (IEWS), while some communities independently establish a community-based early warning system (CBEWS). This is the case of the Manizales Creek Basin (MCB), where vulnerable communities are settled in a flash flood-prone area and have self-arranged basic monitoring and communication protocols to warn themselves before an IEWS arrives. Recently, IEWS and CBEWS have become a…
Performance assessment of indicators of a multi-hazards early warning system in an urban mountain region
The urban basins in the mountainous Andean regions are exposed to rapid and poorly planned urbanization processes, causing drastic changes in the landscape, climate, and hydrology. These factors have led to an intensification in the frequency of floods, landslides, falling trees, and droughts, among many other disasters. Therefore, the city of Manizales has implemented an Early Warning System (EWS) to address emergencies and prevent deaths and da…
Caracterización de los ecotopos cafeteros colombianos en el Triángulo del Café
El Triángulo del Café, en Colombia, está conformado por los departamentos de Caldas, Quindío y Risaralda. Su diversidad geográfica, climática y de suelos permite identificar varios ecotopos cafeteros que se determinan por respuestas similares en cuanto a productividad. La caracterización de los ecotopos que se presenta en este artículo fue posible por la disponibilidad de información geográfica de libre acceso, producto de la Ley de Transparencia…
