Reduce and mitigate predictable humanitarian impacts from negatively affecting at–risk populations through coordinated and timely anticipated action

We are working with communities, partners, and frontline responders to understand and reduce the risks where possible and increasing response preparedness when a disaster occurs. This includes community-based disaster risk management, an approach that is integrated into our longer-term development and resilience programmes.

In locations where we have good early warning systems in place, it is increasingly possible to provide assistance ahead of the onset of a disaster through anticipatory action protocol.
