Las inundaciones en el sur de Asia se están volviendo cada vez más predecibles, pero continúan desencadenando crisis humanitarias a gran escala y revierten años de progreso en desarrollo. Los avances en sistemas de pronóstico, monitoreo satelital y modelado hidrológico ahora permiten a los gobiernos anticipar muchos eventos de inundación con días de anticipación. Sin embargo, las alertas tempranas rara vez se traducen en acciones tempranas.
