Please refer to the attached file. The humanitarian sector is scaling up anticipatory action (AA), enabling proactive mobilization of resources to get ahead of predictable climate-related shocks and disease outbreaks through robust forecasting (triggers), pre-agreed activities, and pre-arranged funding. The objective of this AA framework is to mitigate, and to a certain extent prevent, the severe impact of typhoons on people’s homes and livelihoods, while building on the government’s mandatory pre-emptive evacuation procedures that save lives, and on the Philippines’ anticipatory action law, Republic Act No. 12287 (the Declaration of a State of Imminent Disaster), and its implementing rules and regulations. With this intervention, the most at-risk communities will have better resources to prepare prior to landfall. This framework outlines an approach to a collective anticipatory action delivered at scale as an innovative attempt to scale-up typhoon response in the Philippines. The document includes details about the forecasting trigger (the Model), the pre-agreed action plans (the Delivery) and the pre-arranged financing (the Money). An investment will be made in documenting evidence of the impact of AA (the Learning). Validity period The CERF pre-arranged funding is valid for an initial period of two years following endorsement of the ERC (2026-2027 typhoon seasons). In case of multiple, subsequent cyclones, agencies are also prepared for double activation.
