Anticipatory action: a proactive approach to disaster risk management
You can learn how to act before a crisis hits by taking the IFRC’s new online course on anticipatory action. This covers essential competencies such as risk assessment, developing early action protocols, and financing for anticipatory action. By the end of the course, you'll know what anticipatory action is, how to build an action plan, and the financing mechanisms available through the IFRC.
The course consists of two mandatory modules focused on anticipatory action and early action planning, followed by at least one scenario-based module to apply the knowledge gained from the first two modules. Successful completion of the course will demonstrate practical skills in designing and implementing anticipatory action plans, making you an asset in the field.
