Would like to reinforce Glenn’s response by saying that the entire purpose of Early warnings is to avoid, mitigate or reduce potential risks. Issuing an early warning is a positive pro-active action. Much can be lost in translation in written communications and that is why it is good to discuss early warnings in a risk reduction meeting face to face to understand the risk.
