SUMMARY OF THE EARLY ACTION PROTOCOL
The IFRC’s Disaster Response Emergency Fund (DREF) has allocated CHF 546,439 to support anticipatory actions aimed at reducing and mitigating the impact of droughts in Guatemala. This allocation is divided into: CHF 250,144 for annual readiness activities and prepositioning supplies, and CHF 296,295 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 EAP focuses on extreme meteorological drought, one of the most frequent and significant threats in the Central American region, particularly in the Dry Corridor. It is triggered by a forecast issued by National Institute of Seismology, Volcanology, Meteorology and Hydrology (INSIVUMEH) with an implementation lead time of at least three months. The document outlines the rationale behind the prioritization of early actions and provides step-by-step instructions to ensure that the selected actions are implemented in a specific sequence and manner upon activation.
This report summarizes the annual readiness and preposition activities implemented in year 1 covering the period 14/05/2024 to 31/12/2024.
