"The climate change of recent years has led to increasingly frequent disasters.
Last year, Europe had to face a number of very severe disasters, including flash and large-scale floods, heavy storms and exceptionally widespread forest fires, not to mention the ash cloud after the eruption of the volcano in Iceland.
Outside Europe as well, some very severe disasters struck, causing an enormous number of casualties and huge destruction. Worldwide, the recorded number of disasters in one year has risen fivefold during the last 35 years to nearly 400 today. 90% of European citizens expect the EU to do more to help their country when struck by a disaster.
With the adoption today of this important document, Parliament is asking for more efficiency in all stages of the European disaster management cycle, including prevention, preparedness, response and recovery, while optimising economic resources during times of austerity. The response needs to be enhanced through pre-identification of the assets available in the Member States that are placed at the disposal of the European Civil Protection Mechanism on a voluntary basis, while avoiding overlapping and duplication of efforts both on the political and on the operational side."@en1
