Keynote: Beyond Anticipation: Challenges and Opportunities in the Region
show moreContribute to the reduction of vulnerability and the impact of disasters, as an integral part of the process of transformation and development of the Central American Integration SICA.
The Coordination Center for Disaster Prevention in Central America and the Dominican Republic (CEPREDENAC) is a regional intergovernmental organization, belonging to the Central American Integration System SICA as a Specialized Secretariat. Its mission is to contribute to the reduction of vulnerability and the impact of disasters, as an integral part of the process of transformation and development of the Central American Integration SICA.
The Center promotes and coordinates international cooperation and the exchange of information, experiences and technical and scientific advice on disaster prevention, mitigation, attention and response. It also systematizes and records information related to disaster prevention, mitigation, response, impact and recovery, in a dynamic, interactive and accessible way, at the regional level.
The representative of CEPREDENAC, Claudia Herrera, will frame the regional efforts that have been part of the coordination carried out with institutions and organizations in the region.

Panel: Anticipatory action beyond climate: multi-hazard/systemic risk contexts
show moreThe "Anticipation beyond Climate" panel will look at the limits and opportunities of anticipation for the humanitarian world and DRM systems in the real context of Latin America. We will reflect on whether it is worth expanding the concept of Anticipation thematically to take advantage of anticipatory action even more... and to what extent? A session without limits!
This panel will be facilitated by Mathieu Destrooper (German Red Cross) with the participation of:
Carlos Iván Márquez (Executive Volunteer, Colombian Red Cross)
Secretary Dr. Gonzales (SINAPRED Nicaragua)

Anticipation tools: The FbF Manual
show moreThe manual has been developed from the lessons and experiences of several ongoing FbF projects, making this manual a living document. As FbF grows, so too will the good practices and sub-chapters of guidance offered.
The role of Meteorological Institutes in humanitarian action
show moreThe session will address the roles and challenges of meteorological services with respect to humanitarian action; it will be a space for dialogue between humanitarians and scientists where the needs and challenges for meteorological services to respond to these humanitarian and non-humanitarian needs will be exposed. It will discuss the current early warning systems and mechanisms and where the next generation of hydrometeorological warnings in the Latin American region is heading, and will try to answer the following questions: "how do hydrometeorological services help to improve decision making in the humanitarian sector? how can the humanitarian sector contribute to improve early warning systems?" For this session, Metimeter and Mirror tools will be used to interact with the participants.
Anticipatory Action in Urban Areas
show moreSummarizing the findings of the Conference “Anticipatory Humanitarian Assistance in the Urban Context” on December 7, 2020, this workshop/meeting will provide another opportunity for an exchange of urban practitioners on Anticipatory Action in cities. We are interested in sharing experiences, lessons learned and best practices: What is distinctive about anticipatory action in urban contexts?

Opportunities for proactive action against zoonoses and other transboundary animal diseases
In no more than 5 minutes, animal health expert of the FAO Regional Office for LAC, Andrés González, will present the opportunities to carry out proactive actions to mitigate the risk of zoonoses (transmission of diseases from vertebrate animals to humans) and phytosanitary threats. What kind of actions can be carried out? What monitoring systems would be required? What could be the triggers for the issuance of alerts? - Anticipation and knowledge management, an alliance for action:

Working group: Drought Anticipation
show moreEvidence on the effects of climate change leads to the conclusion that extreme events such as droughts will exacerbate their frequency and intensity in large areas of the region. Faced with this scenario, a variety of humanitarian and academic organizations, development organizations and governments are seeking to design and implement anticipation strategies to improve forecasts and deploy early actions to mitigate the impacts on the most vulnerable populations and increase their resilience.
But the design of anticipatory actions involves a series of challenges ranging from the strictly technical or governance issues to the limitations of a humanitarian response of different scopes.
From the exchange of experiences and collective interaction, this working session seeks to discuss and model a prototype basis for the development of a multi-stakeholder coordination mechanism to implement strategies to anticipate the threat of droughts in the context of Latin American countries.
