Early Action Protocol
Explanation
Early Action Protocols (EAP) are formal plans produced by National Societies. They outline the early actions that will be taken when a specific hazard is forecasted to impact communities.
The Early Action Protocol provides preapproved funding for stock pre-positioning, readiness activities and pre-agreed early action activities designed to save lives and livelihoods once a hazard is forecasted
Simplified Early Action Protocols (sEAP) are a lighter approach available to Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, also drawing on the principles of forecast-based financing. They are simplified plans with a lower budget and a shorter life span than a full EAP.
