Localized Multi-Hazard Anticipatory Action Facility Pakistan

In Pakistan, droughts, heat waves and floods occur regionally time and again. With anticipatory disaster relief, damage can be minimised, i.e. aid money is released if certain conditions are met - even before the disaster. Welthungerhilfe is creating the conditions in several regions with the 'START Network': This includes good local preparation, early warning systems and local experts who predict when, where and how a heat wave will develop, for example. Local organisations can then best help the people affected.
