Start Ready provides predictable funding to national networks of members. Because of this, it is suited best to risks that are statistically predictable. These include hazards and risks which follow a pattern of recurrence and magnitude in any given area. These risks are typically either hydro meteorological risks, such as cyclones, droughts, river floods etc, or geological hazards, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions (albeit the latter are with very short lead times).

Start Ready–a new financing mechanism of the Start Network which launched in November 2021 – provides funding at scale for predictable crises worldwide.
