Scenario-building and disaster management planning

1. The Commission and the Member States shall work together to improve cross-sectoral disaster risk management planning at Union level, both for natural and man-made disasters which cause or are capable of causing multi-country transboundary effects, including the adverse effects of climate change. That planning shall include scenario-building at Union level for disaster prevention, preparedness and response, taking into account the work carried out in relation to the Union disaster resilience goals as referred to in Article 6(5) and the work by the Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network as referred to in Article 13, and based on:

(i) the risk assessments referred to in point (a) of Article 6(1);

(ii) the overview of risks referred to in point (c) of Article 5(1);

(iii) Member States’ assessment of risk management capability referred to in point (b) of Article 6(1);

(iv) available disaster loss data referred to in point (f) of Article 6(1);

(v) the voluntary exchange of existing information on disaster risk management planning at national or the appropriate sub-national level;

(vi) asset mapping; and (vii) the development of plans for the deployment of response capacities.

2. The Commission and the Member States shall identify and promote synergies between civil protection assistance and humanitarian aid funding provided by the Union and Member States in the planning of response operations for humanitarian crises outside the Union.
