PREVENTION, PREPARATION AND RESPONSE TO DISASTERS USING
CLIMATE OUTLOOKS FOR CONTINGENCY PLANS UPDATE.

To significantly reduce reported impacts, Countries, Regional Economic Communities
and African Union need to use hazards outlooks to switch from current post disaster
management to future disaster risk management.

Investments in prevention, preparation and early response based on hazards outlooks
are therefore pivotal.

Mainstreaming hazards outlooks in processes leading to for future Declaration of State of
Emergency is highly recommended.
