The CFE provides funding during the critical gap between the moment the need for an emergency response is identified and the point at which funds from other mechanisms can be released. The CFE's capacity to release funding within 24 hours of an emergency request sets it apart from other complementary financing which may have different funding criteria and slower disbursement cycles.
