Abstract: An Early Warning System (EWS) is the first line of defense against hazards of all kinds. EWS supports mitigations capabilities and plays a vital role in minimizing human and monetary losses due to natural and man-made disasters. In this paper current and future trends for EWS implementation in Jordan are discussed. An integrated Early Warning System for Jordan (JoEWS) is proposed to enhance mitigation and response capabilities for future disasters in Jordan.
