Early warnings + early action = lives saved.

When communities act before disasters strike, they cut risks dramatically.

#AnticipatoryAction isn’t the future—it’s the now of disaster preparedness.

Retweet to spread lifesaving preparedness!

मनसुनजन्य विपद् जस्तै बाढी, पहिरो र अतिवृष्टिको जोखिम कम गर्न मौसम पूर्वानुमान, पूर्वसूचना, पूर्वतयारी र समयमै गरिने कार्य अत्यन्तै महत्वपूर्ण हुन्छ। समुदायको सुरक्षाका लागि समयमै दिइने सूचना र त्यसअनुसारको पूर्वतयारीले जनधनकाे रक्षा गर्न मद्दत गर्दछ।

[David Fogden @david_fogden]

As traditional aid funding declines, it’s more important than ever to focus on actions that deliver the most impact.

With evidence showing the life saving benefits of early warning & anticipatory action, it remains essential to prioritize the replication of these approaches.
