Emergency Preparedness
The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) is a USAID-funded activity that collaborates with international, national and regional partners to monitor, collect and disseminate critical data on conditions of food availability and access, as well as the environmental and socio-economic hazards that lead to food insecurity and famine. The goal of FEWS NET is to inform efforts to manage the risk of food insecurity through the provision of timely and analytical early warning and vulnerability information, so that decision makers have ample time to prepare and take preventive action. FEWS NET exemplifies the Office of Food for Peace’s commitment to anticipating and responding to humanitarian vulnerabilities and crises.
