Imagine if everyone in Grenada — from St. Patrick to Carriacou — could get instant alerts before a hurricane makes landfall or a flash flood begins. That’s the goal of early warning systems: to save lives through timely information. NaDMA, in partnership with regional and global partners, is enhancing Grenada’s ability to warn, prepare, and protect every citizen.

Why Early Warning systems Matter

Early warning isn’t just about sirens or alerts on your phone — it’s about giving people time to act. In a country where power and internet connections can sometimes fail during bad weather, having multiple communication methods is essential.


NaDMA’s approach includes:

• Community loudspeakers and radio networks in areas with weak cell coverage.
• Mobile alerts and SMS messages for those with smartphones.
• Training for local volunteers to spread messages quickly in emergencies.
• Partnerships with churches, schools, and transport operators to ensure that no one is left uninformed.

Building Inclusivity into the System

A truly effective early warning system must reach everyone — including elderly citizens, people with disabilities, and those living in remote areas. NaDMA is working with communities to ensure that warning messages are clear, accessible, and easy to act on.

What You Can Do

• Stay informed about NaDMA’s official communication channels.
• Encourage your community to register for alert systems once available.
• Share updates with neighbors who may not have access to internet or TV.

Together, We’re Stronger
An early warning gives us precious minutes and those minutes can mean the difference between safety and tragedy. NaDMA’s efforts are ensuring that when danger approaches, everyone in Grenada has the information they need to act swiftly and stay safe.
