The IFRC’s Disaster Response Emergency Fund (DREF) has allocated CHF 528,641 to support anticipatory actions aimed at reducing and mitigating the impact of floods caused by tropical cyclones in Costa Rica. This allocation is divided into: CHF 181,792 for annual readiness activities and prepositioning supplies, and CHF 346,849 for early actions that will be implemented only if the triggers established are met. These early actions have been pre-agreed with the National Society and are detailed in the Early Action Protocol summary.

This report summarizes the annual readiness and preposition activities implemented in year 1 covering the period 27/10/2023 to 31/12/2024. The report also includes updates made to the initially agreed plan.
