By pre-positioning essential supplies across the country, WFP can rapidly respond to sudden-onset disasters and crises, addressing the most urgent needs, while planning additional assistance for the weeks that follow. When fully stocked, WFP reserves can provide unconditional food assistance – including rice, beans and oil – to up to 300,000 people for one month. Additionally, WFP employs a multifaceted approach to shock response. This includes developing a national social registry, facilitating digitized cash transfers and establishing an early-warning system. In collaboration with the Directorate of Civil Protection, WFP has implemented a system to deliver prompt SMS storm warnings and anticipatory cash transfers – helping vulnerable populations better prepare for and mitigate the effect of climate shocks.</div> <aside class="accordion__item-side"> <div class="accordion__item-image"> <img src="https://www.wfp.org/sites/default/files/styles/page_accordion/public/images/Haiti-emergency-WFP-emergency-preparedness.jpg?itok=KhDZKiv_" alt="WFP staff ready to respond to the emergency food assistance in Haiti"> </div> </aside> </dd> <dt class="accordion__item-title "> <div> <span>Logistics</span> </div> </dt> <dd class="accordion__item-panel "> <div class="accordion__item-content">The United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) provides a vital lifeline to the wider humanitarian community through passenger and light cargo services, allowing aid workers to reach those most in need right across the country.
