Recital 3
Recital 3
(3) Natural and man-made disasters can strike anywhere across the globe, often without warning. Whether of natural or man-made origin, they are becoming increasingly frequent, extreme and complex, often exceeding environmental and demographic threshold values, exacerbated by the impacts of climate change ('clustering'), and irrespective of national borders. The human, environmental, and economic consequences stemming from disasters can be enormous.

Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) Prevention is of key importance for protection against disasters and requires further action. To that effect, Member States should carry out geomonitoring of water, air and the earth's crust, demographic research, especially in the area of migration, and share risk assessments on a regular basis as well as summaries of their disaster risk management planning in order to ensure an integrated approach to disaster management, linking risk prevention, preparedness and response actions. In addition, the Commission should be able to require Member States to provide specific prevention and preparedness plans in relation to specific disasters, notably with a view to maximising overall Union support, in particular from the European Environment Agency (EEA), to disaster risk management. Administrative burden should be reduced and prevention policies strengthened, including by ensuring necessary links to other key Union policies and instruments, notably the European Structural and Investment Funds as listed in recital 2 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/201313. _________________ 13 Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006.

Proposal for a decision
Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) It is important to ensure that Member States take all the necessary actions in order to effectively prevent natural and man-made disasters and mitigate their effects. Provisions should reinforce, through monitoring the environment and migration, links between prevention, preparedness and response actions under the Union Mechanism. Coherence should also be ensured with other relevant Union legislation on prevention and disaster risk management, including for cross-border prevention action and response to threats such as serious cross-border health threats15. Likewise, coherence should be ensured with international commitments such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 – 2030, the Paris Agreement and Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. _________________ 15 Decision No 1082/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2013 on serious cross -border threats to health and repealing Decision No 2119/98/EC (OJ L 293, 5.11.2013, p. 1).

Recital 15
(15) Since the objectives of this Decision cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States acting alone but can rather, by reason of scale or effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principles of solidarity and subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
