What is Anticipatory Action?

By shifting the focus of disaster response to the pre-crisis space, Anticipatory Action is allowing humanitarians and affected communities to make informed decisions ahead of disaster events – saving time and money; preventing displacement, disease, loss of livelihood; and preserving the dignity of those affected.

Throughout history, vulnerable communities have used ancestral knowledge and practices to protect their families, homes, and livelihoods from imminent disasters. Similarly, humanitarian actors have invested in emergency preparedness for decades, though progress has often been hampered by limited resources and competing priorities. Anticipatory Action builds on these approaches, by adding a new step in the traditional disaster management cycle.

What sets Anticipatory Action apart from preparedness is that activities and disbursement of funds are activated by a pre-agreed trigger – an indicator that a hazard is imminent and severe. Triggers are based on risk analysis and forecasts, with the goal of beginning interventions before a crisis escalates into a humanitarian emergency.

Critical to the success of Anticipatory Action is a ‘no regrets’ approach – if the Anticipatory Action mechanism is triggered but the disaster does not occur, it may not have the same preventative impact, but will still be valuable in reinforcing preparedness and learning.

What is the Australian Humanitarian Partnership Anticipatory Action Fund?

Anticipatory Action has been trialled South Asia, Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa and there is increasing interest in understanding the effectiveness of anticipatory actions in the Pacific and Timor-Leste, one of the world’s most disaster-prone regions.

Governments and development partners are now investing in regional and national systems to support Anticipatory Action in the Indo-Pacific.

With support from the Australian Government, the Australian Humanitarian Partnership is trialling an Australian Humanitarian Partnership Anticipatory Action Fund (AAF) to support communities to take protective actions prior to hazards.

The Disaster READY program, with its focus on preparedness, existing coordination mechanisms and relationships, is providing a strong base for the pilot.

Three expressions of interest have been selected for the initial trial: from Timor-Leste, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea.

Disaster READY partners in trial countries have put together detailed proposals, each focusing on a particular hazard.
