Before Typhoon Man-Yi hit the Philippines, @FAO, with help from @GermanyDiplo, moved fishing boats to safety, secured gear, and distributed cash to at-risk families.

#AnticipatoryAction not only saves lives but helps livelihoods resume in record time.

[FAO in Emergencies @FAOemergencies]

3⃣ days before Typhoon #ManYi: @FAO issued early warnings in the Philippines.

2⃣ days before: Boats secured, cash aid reaches 6 400 people.

1⃣ day after: Fisherfolks back at sea, livelihoods resumed.

#AnticipatoryActions save livelihoods and support families.

Smallholder farmers are among those most vulnerable to disasters, many of which are predictable.

By linking #AnticipatoryAction and #SocialProtection, we can mitigate the impacts of disasters.

Why react to disasters if we can protect communities ahead of time?

[FAO Asia Pacific @FAOAsiaPacific]

In the Philippines, @FAO and @dswdserves have worked together to integrate #AnticipatoryAction into existing social protection systems, thanks to @ECHO_Asia.

Director Alday from @dswdserves shares the positive impact we are seeing on community resilience through the efforts.

[Humanitarian Advisory Group @HumAdGrp]

“…And the third, flexible financing. We need to have the financing that will be made available before a disaster hits…what we call anticipatory cash transfers before a disaster.”

[Humanitarian Advisory Group @HumAdGrp]

NEW EPISODE of #IThinkYoureOnMute is here!

In this episode with the @FAO , we explore how #AnticipatoryAction can tap into existing social protection systems to respond to potential crises swiftly and efficiently.

🌴As climate risks grow in #SolomonIslands, robust data systems can strengthen its #resilience! Last month, stakeholders dove into @FAO's Damage&Loss methodology to calculate disaster impacts in agriculture, paving the way for risk-informed #EarlyWarnings and #AnticipatoryAction

[FAO in Emergencies @FAOemergencies]

Climate change is making extreme winters, known as dzud, more frequent in Mongolia.

As a result, grazing areas get covered by thick ice, becoming inaccessible for animals.

@FAO's @ddujanovic explains how #AnticipatoryAction helps affected herders keep their animals alive.

[FAO Asia Pacific @FAOAsiaPacific]

Climate change presents severe challenges to agrifood systems across Asia-Pacific, threatening #foodsecurity, livelihoods, gender equality, and economic growth. Yet, climate finance falls short for smallholder farmers and MSMEs.
