This review evaluates ICT-based early warning systems for cyclone safety, revealing disparities in vulnerability reduction and community preparedness in Bangladesh and Uganda.

Key Points

To evaluate the effectiveness of ICT-based early warning systems (EWS) for cyclone safety and their impact on community preparedness in Bangladesh and Uganda.
Conducted a scoping review of literature on ICT-based EWS from databases including PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and Google Scholar.
Included studies published between specified years to ensure comprehensive coverage.
Assessed community preparedness and levels of ICT integration across regions.
Approximately 35% of communities in Bangladesh have access to real-time weather forecasting systems.
Community preparedness scores in Uganda were around 62%, indicating a need for improvement.
Disparities in EWS implementation effectiveness were noted between countries and within communities.
