| dc.description.abstract | As extreme weather events grow in frequency and severity around the world, there is an ongoing need to examine how existing national and international assistance mechanisms can be leveraged and learned from to respond to both slow- and suddenonset disasters. A growing area of humanitarian action is anticipatory, seeking to use weather forecasting to make informed predictions about extreme weather events and act accordingly. Known as anticipatory action, this type of humanitarian response requires extensive pre-planning in order to deliver the appropriate type of assistance to populations that need it most. While anticipatory action may aim to build resilience, such as safeguarding assets and minimizing livelihood shocks, it often takes the form of emergency cash assistance or humanitarian in-kind assistance as well. | en_US |
