These days, International Training Course on Artificial Intelligence (AI) Empowered Early Warnings for All is underway this week in Shanghai, China. This metropolis is exploring innovative early warning solutions and contributing to the global community through practice, in particular, Urban Multi-hazard Early Warning Toolbox (hereinafter referred to as the Toolbox) developed by Shanghai Meteorological Service (hereinafter referred to as the Service).The Service empowers early warning system with technology by developing the Toolbox and deploying three synergistic strategies，namely, "AI+""Government+" and "Finance +".
Focusing on early warning, demonstrating Shanghai intelligence
The emergence of the Toolbox stems from China's profound insight into global climate governance.
Confronted with the challenges of frequent extreme weather events and intensified disaster chain reactions, under the deployment of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), the Service has integrated institutional tools, algorithmic model tools, operational system tools, and empirical cases that underpin the "4 pillars" including urban multi-hazard early warning risk assessment, monitoring and early warning, information dissemination, and emergency response. This provides technical support and practical template for building a more inclusive and adaptive global early warning system.
