CERF anticipatory action simulation exercise 2022

This report describes a pilot project using anticipatory action (AA) to mitigate, and to a certain extent prevent, the impact of typhoons on people’s homes and livelihoods, while building on the government’s mandatory pre-emptive evacuation procedures that save lives.

The Philippines was selected as one of the countries to pilot AA through the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for the typhoon season 2021-2022. With this intervention, the most at-risk communities will have better financial resources to prepare prior to landfall. Multi-sectoral assistance will be delivered by the UN agencies, NGOs and the Red Cross/Red Crescent in close collaboration with local authorities.
