Showing the main seasonal activities and their spatial variability, which contribute to livelihood vulnerability in different seasons. What are people reliant on in that season? This helps provide an understand the timing of your response.

World Food Programme (WFP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) may use these for contextualising the crisis.
Supports a contextual understanding of the area of interest. Helps establish how a FS situation may evolve over time and support distribution agencies by informing them or which areas and which time might need additional support.
Use multiple maps to represent different seasons (i.e. wet, dry; or calendar months - DJF, MAM, JJA, SON) to show the different livelihood activities per season. For example, there might be specific crops planted, harvested at specific times or different types of livelihood activities might be undertaken at different times of the year. The maps should answer the question, what are people in a give area most reliant upon at specific time of the year.

The maps should show the locations where staples are available. This can be a series of separate maps showing where staples are available. Ideally, it is better if the price of staples can be represented at each location.

The map will be one of the most important in a response for identifying priority areas where food insecurity needs are at their greatest.
The map uses the existing IPC classification to identify whether regions are stressed, in crisis, in emergency or in catastrophe/famine.
The IPC uses survey data which will require an understanding of the metadata around temporal elements (date of collection, date of publication, frequency), the geographic elements (coverage, sampling frame) and the quality elements (modelling approach, uncertainty, confidence intervals).
The map also includes settlement locations and water bodies to provide context to the IPC data.

The map or infographic shows the areas within which people share broadly the same patterns of livelihood, populations that share similar levels of wealth (locally defined) & their livelihood strategies within each wealth group.

Once HEA assessment complete. Full assessment normally takes about 4 weeks so if depends at what point we enter the response and whether assessments are already underway. Otherwise see the 'Response' table in which a Rapid HEA can be performed.

Supports a contextual understanding of the area of interest. Useful for understanding risk to population and where areas are more prone to transition to a higher level of food insecurity.
Similar to the second map but will tend to have higher granularity of information, as would be based on more comprehensive assessment and primary data collection by other agencies.
HEA output
Climate zones showing when harvesting times for staple crops are expected. Which climate zones relate to which dependencies in the population at different times of the year. This can link this to seasonal forecast outlooks to highlight areas that may become susceptible to food insecurity.

Supports identification of vulnerable individuals, identifies where the risk to people is greatest. Useful for food distribution agencies for informing them which areas are likely to require addition support.
Use a simple basemap showing the land use and/or crop type distribution, overlain with climate zones (or rainfall climatology data) and expected harvest time for each crop type (as a label or graphic). Could include link to the seasonal outlooks that are provided by DFID if available.
