To forewarn someone means to give them advance notice or caution of a forthcoming event, situation or danger, in order to help them prepare, anticipate or take precautionary measures.
When someone forewarns another individual, they typically provide them with important information, insights, or predictions about a future occurrence that may have negative consequences or pose a risk to their well-being or interests. The objective of forewarning is to give someone an opportunity to make informed decisions or take deliberate actions to mitigate or navigate the potential risks or challenges that lie ahead.
Forewarning can take various forms, such as verbal or written communication, explicit statements, warnings, notices, signs, or signals. It serves as a means to provide timely advice, guidance, or alertness, facilitating readiness and prevention.

By giving individuals an advance notice of potential threats, forewarning plays a vital role in risk management, ensuring preparedness, and reducing potential harm or damage. It empowers individuals or groups to better anticipate, adapt, and respond to challenging circumstances, promoting safety, well-being, and effective decision-making.
