As early as possible in a response.

Intended audience

• World Food Programme (WFP)

• Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)

Influence on humanitarian decisions

Useful for food distribution agencies for informing them where areas have been damaged that are used for agricultural/livestock production.

Methods

Using a simple basemap showing land use overlaid with the extent of areas affected by the disaster. The extent of those affected areas if possible should be ranked by severity. There might be a temporal element about the affected areas as this might change over time (floods etc.).

Data

• Areas affected by disaster, if available classed by severity

• Land use
