 <a href="https://startnetwork.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Start Network</a> has announced its new financial service - Start Ready - will be providing protection to people at risk in six countries against climate shocks.

<a href="https://startnetwork.org/funds/start-ready" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Start Ready</a> is a new financing mechanism that enables frontline humanitarians to access early, predictable funds. The unique financing enables national and local institutions and NGOs to collectively analyse and quantify crisis risks, in anticipation of expected shocks. Using scientific modelling of data and best practice from insurance, financial, and humanitarian sectors &ndash; Start Ready pools risks and allows financing to stretch up to three times further than traditional humanitarian funding.
&nbsp;
Funding can now be disbursed to any of the six countries that applied for protection against heatwaves, droughts, floods and cyclones. Funding will be disbursed based on the prediction of a climate shock, using live data and scientific modelling. The countries, and events include:
&nbsp;
Bangladesh - Flood The Democratic Republic of the Congo - Flood Pakistan - Heatwaves, Flood and Drought The Philippines - Cyclones Senegal - Drought Zimbabwe - Drought
