Heads Up!
Early warning systems offer one of the best defenses against the adverse effects of climate, water, weather and geologic hazards. But far too often this realization is made only after disaster strikes. This title provides a review of early warning systems, while exploring a range of hazards including hurricanes, heat waves, floods, and volcanoes.
