Description
Summary:Flooding is frequently emerging events in the Upper Bekasi river basin and causes economic loss, property damage, loss of life, and even hinders sustainable development. Torrential rain is one of the natural hazards that often triggers flooding, especially in watersheds that have undergone land use changes. One of the mitigation efforts that can be carried out by the vicinity community, government, private enterprises and other stakeholders is by utilizing an early warning system. This study will delineate the successful use of coupled hydro-meteorological models to predict flooding in various regions of the world with different climatic and terrestrial characteristics. However, in order for an early warning system to be effective and improve community resilience, four vital elements of early warning systems are recommended to be fulfilled, namely risk knowledge, monitoring and warning services, dissemination and communication, and response capability. Therefore, this study will compile how coupled hydro-meteorological model is utilized properly to generate an effective early warning system so that thriving sustainability can be achieved.
