Together with National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and other partners, 510 co-developed the Impact-Based Forecasting Portal (IBF Portal): a digital one-stop-shop of information which supports the decision-making of disaster managers during anticipatory action operations. The IBF Portal displays information on the impact of an incoming disaster at the right time for decision-makers to be able to act and execute pre-agreed early actions.
The IBF Portal is built upon insights from more than 160 co-design sessions with disaster managers and operational personnel in the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement, governmental and civil society stakeholders, as well as input from knowledge institutions and other humanitarian organizations.
“The IBF Portal has provided opportunities to fill gaps in risk identification, monitoring and effectively managing hazards. By incorporating it, communities have a chance to timely prepare for disasters which reduces their impact.”
