Emergency response
Five-year, Early Action Protocols provide funding
for early action in advance of a disaster. The
Early Action Protocol was activated when the
Hydrometeorological Service of Kyrgyzstan
showed that temperatures would exceed
the 80th percentile for three or more con-
secutive days.
Actions included distribution of hygiene and food
kits, distribution of psychosocial support items
for children, early warning and public awareness
campaigns in densely populated areas and
public places, providing first aid, installing air
conditioners in institutions for orphans, care
homes for elderly and people with disabilities, as
well as providing information and support within
the care homes and institutions.
The German Red Cross provided technical sup-
port to develop the Early Action Protocol as well
as during the activation.
