See how we support OCHA and partners in this work, including current frameworks and shock seasons ↘️ https://centre.humdata.org/anticipatory-action/

Every disaster costs us millions in assets & livelihoods, & sets us back from achieving the #SDGs🌎

To keep us on track for 2030, we need to work together & commit to Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems, #EarlyAction & #EarlyWarningsForAll
