Risk Analysis for Anticipatory Humanitarian Action

Attachments

Risk Analysis is an essential component of developing an Anticipatory Action Plan (AAP).

Details

The process helps to identify the hazards that can be addressed by anticipatory action (AA), as well as target locations, and specific groups at risk. WAHAFA advocates for an impact-focused risk analysis approach, which seeks to move beyond the identification of hazards, towards identifying the potential impacts of a hazardous event, the severity of which can be mitigated through anticipatory action.
