As part of the risk identification, prevention and preparedness measures under the IUFMP, an integrated flood early warning and response system is needed to improve flood forecasting to communities and government for response (a sub-component). This is being developed in partnership with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NIMET), the Oyo State Emergency Management Agency
(OSEMA), and the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA). The key objective of the proposed consultancy assignment is to develop a Flood Early Warning and Response System and to enhance community resilience to respond effectively to early warning, which is a critical element of the project design and implementation of this sub-component.  

This warning system will be an integral part of the national system taking advantage of and providing inputs to the federal systems of NISHA, NIMET and NEMA.
