Pick the profile that best matches your work. You choose your specific category next.
The checklist will show only the measures that apply to your category.
Your preparedness work runs as one cycle in four phases. The review at the end of each season feeds back into understanding at the start.
Ten preparedness steps for your category. For each measure, set how far it is in place, from not in place through to tested. Mark N/A where a measure does not apply to you.
Investing in risk reduction costs far less than responding after a disaster has struck.
Apply the set that matches the hazards expected in your area. These complement the ten steps above.
Primary guidance behind this check, drawn from UNESCO and partner sources.
This is a screening self-check based on the level you record for each measure. It indicates where preparedness is strong or thin. It does not replace a site-level assessment of exposure and vulnerability, and it does not certify readiness. Refresh it at the start of each El Niño phase.
