Follow with a short Situation Overview. This should be no more than three or four lines. State the hazard (heavy rain and flooding), the most affected areas, and the protection relevance. Focus on impacts that justify protection action: displacement, family separation, heightened GBV risk, loss of documentation, overcrowded shelters, or access constraints for vulnerable groups. Next, include Key Protection Risks and Concerns. This is the analytical core of the one-pager. Present four to six succinct bullets, prioritised rather than exhaustive. Typical risks might include increased exposure of women and girls to GBV in evacuation centres, unaccompanied and separated children, barriers to civil documentation, heightened protection risks for persons with disabilities, and reduced access to services due to flooding. Keep the language outcome-focused rather than descriptive. Then move to Response to Date. This demonstrates operational credibility. Summarise what the Protection Cluster and its AoRs have already done. This can be presented as short bullets grouped by theme, such as coordination and assessments, direct service delivery, and advocacy or capacity strengthening. Avoid naming every activity; focus on what materially reduced protection risks. After that, present Priority Actions and Planned Response (Next X Weeks). This section should be forward-looking and clearly linked to the risks identified earlier. Limit this to five or six priorities, each phrased as an action rather than an aspiration. For example: scaling up mobile protection teams in flooded districts, strengthening GBV risk mitigation in temporary shelters, or integrating protection messaging into flood early-warning systems. Include a brief Coordination and Gaps section. This is often what decision-makers look for. In two or three bullets, note critical gaps (coverage, funding, access, staffing) and coordination needs with other clusters, particularly Shelter/NFI, WASH, and CCCM. This section should implicitly signal where support or action is required.
