Keywords: Early warning systems, prevention, reduction of losses of lives, livelihood, women, Kawamba.

Early warning systems (EWS) are vital tools for disaster risk reduction, providing critical information to communities and authorities to prepare for and respond to disasters. While EWS are designed to save lives and protect livelihoods, this study delves into the often-overlooked negative impacts of these systems, with a particular focus on the vulnerabilities and challenges faced by women. This exploration draws on empirical research and case studies from various disaster-prone sites of TA Kawamba highlight the multifaceted dimensions of EWS and their implications for gender equity. It examines how EWS can inadvertently exacerbate vulnerabilities among women and hinder the achievement of disaster resilience and sustainable development goals. Among other outcomes, the study revealed that Women, especially in rural and marginalized communities, often face restricted access to EWS information due to gender-related disparities in education and technology access. This limitation leaves them less informed and less able to take timely actions to protect themselves and their families. On the same, the relocation of communities away from hazard-prone areas as a disaster risk reduction measure can disrupt traditional gender roles and expose women to protection risks, including gender-based violence and exploitation. On economic situation, the study revealed that, economic disparities often affect women's ability to prepare for disasters. Limited access to financial resources, land, and assets can hinder their capacity to invest in disaster-resilient infrastructure or to recover post-disaster. The study was done in TA Kawamba, Kasungu District.
