The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has organized a one-day training workshop in Koforidua to strengthen the capacity of journalists in the Eastern Region to communicate weather-related information more effectively to the public.
The training, held at the Capital View Hotel, formed part of a three-phase Media Engagement Sensitization Workshop on Early Warning Systems (EWS) being rolled out by GMet's Central Analysis and Forecast Office (Public Weather Unit).
The initiative, themed "Advancing Early Warning Systems for All: Media as a Lifeline," seeks to deepen collaboration between meteorologists and media professionals to ensure the timely and reliable dissemination of weather forecasts and climate information.
Bridging the Gap in Early Warning Systems Globally, meteorologists note that early warning systems often fail to trigger prompt responses at the community level due to delays in communication and difficulties in translating forecasts into actionable steps.
