Capability Statement Anticipatory Humanitarian Action

As part of our humanitarian strategy, WHH follows the innovative approach of Anticipatory Humanitarian Action to reduce loss and damage and to actively use early warning information and the resulting window of opportunity to mitigate the effects of an impending hazard. Through detailed risk and threat analyses, we can predict extreme weather events with increasing accuracy and, based on these early warnings, implement action before a hazard unfolds its full impact. This enables people to make timely decisions on matters essential to their survival in the short time between the early warning and the onset of a disaster.
