Recital 1
(1) In view of the significant increase in the numbers and severity of natural and man-made disasters in recent years and in a situation where future disasters are likely to be more extreme and more complex with far reaching and longer-term consequences, resulting, in particular, from climate change and potential interaction between several natural and technological hazards, an integrated approach to disaster management is increasingly important. The Union should support, coordinate and supplement actions of Member States in the field of civil protection with a view to improving the effectiveness of systems for preventing, preparing for and responding to natural and man-made disasters. An integrated approach for each sea basin might prove necessary.
