Anticipatory action is a form of humanitarian assistance that aims to save lives and livelihoods before a hazard occurs or its impacts fully unfold. It is part of the disaster risk management cycle, bridging a critical gap between disaster preparedness and disaster response.

While anticipatory action takes different forms, there are common parameters to this approach:^[1]

• The actions are implemented before a hazard occurs or before its most acute impacts are felt.
• The objective is to reduce the potential humanitarian impacts of forecastable hazard(s).
• The decision to act is based on forecasts or predictive analyses of when and where a hazard will occur.

According to data reported by the Anticipation Hub,^[2] in 2023 anticipatory actions were implemented in 48 countries and for 16 types of hazards, with many more developing frameworks for different hazards. These actions reached 12.8 million people and were supported by financing worth US$198m.
