5️⃣ Secure:

Emergency response operation centres across Europe will help make sure that civil protection systems are operational 24/7, during and after disasters, when they are needed the most.

4⃣ Respond:

Scaling-up the EU's own strategic reserves and pool capacities will ensure that the EU can provide more help and fill critical gaps when the capacity of a disaster-affected country is overwhelmed.

Linking early global warning with local action in Europe will help ensure that warning messages across the national, regional and local levels reach people on time.
