SessionAbstract

What is the definition of a trigger? How can we select the most effective anticipatory actions? When does anticipatory action end and disaster response start?

In this session, we will bring everybody up to speed with anticipatory action: what it means, how it works, and what it looks like in practice. We will also explain the underlying principles: why we do it, when we do it and with whom. This interactive session will case studies, exercises and time for reflection and questions.

Don’t be shy; this is the time ask everything you ever wanted to know about anticipatory action!
