What is Anticipatory Action?
-
An alert can use a forecast to tell us that something bad, like a drought, is likely to happen
-
But just having part of a map flagged with red doesnt tell us what we want to do
What is the value of doing more than Alerts?
- Anticipatory Action for Disasters is the next step
- We work together to decide BEFOREHAND:
- How we would work together to act before the disaster strikes
- How we would pay for the actions
-
Then, the forecast triggers funded coordinated action before the disaster
-
For Anticipatory Action, we need to work out the challenging questions together beforehand
