The Early Warning Early Action (EWEA) report on food security and agriculture is developed by FAO. It provides a quarterly forward-looking analysis of major disaster risks to food security and agriculture, specifically highlighting potential new emergencies resulting from imminent disaster threats and new developments in countries already affected by protracted crises, which are likely to cause a further deterioration of food insecurity This report is part of FAO’s efforts to systematically link early warnings to anticipatory actions. By providing specific early action recommendations for each country, the report aims to prompt FAO and partners to proactively mitigate and/or prevent disasters before they start to adversely impact food security. In order of intensity, for the period October to December 2018, the high risk section includes: Yemen, Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Syrian Arab Republic, El Niño and Fall armyworm.
