It is truly important that we convert theory to practice. In May, a recent simulation with the Philippines Red Cross and FAO tested two anticipatory early actions: fishpond harvesting and the use of cash transfers via our 4Ps (social protection) programme. Important lessons were learned and showed us that it is possible to reach vulnerable populations ahead of disaster and the potential to integrate into government programmes.
