Inter-agency early warning and early action mechanisms

Early warning, early action, and other crisis monitoring systems used by organizations could systematically integrate information on the presence and conditions of migrants. Migrants and migrant groups can contribute to the collection and analysis of relevant data. This information can be useful for analyzing risks for migrant populations and for informing preparation, including contingency plans. Relevant information may include:

• Number of migrants;
• Nationalities;
• Locations;
• Demographic profile, gender, and age breakdown;
• Data on the immigration status of migrants, including those in an irregular immigration situation;
• Vulnerable groups of migrants, including victims of trafficking, children, and disabled migrants;
• Information on risks that may affect migrants disproportionately, such as specific labor sectors.
