The Uganda Red Cross Society established the Early Warning & Emergency Operation Center (EWEOC) to strengthen timely and effective humanitarian action. The Centre monitors risks, anticipates hazards, supports informed decision-making and coordinates rapid action before, during and after emergencies.<\/p>

It brings together early warning systems, situational monitoring, data analysis, emergency coordination and two-way community communication to support people-centred disaster risk management.<\/p>

The EWEOC works with national and local stakeholders, including the National Emergency Coordination and Operations Centre (NECOC), government agencies, humanitarian partners, communities and other emergency operations centres.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
