In the context of the recent POB6.1 seminar held on 14.05.2025 on natural disasters, are also the activities carried out by the European Union to reduce the losses affecting the population of the European Union and the economies of the member states.

„The European Union is a safe place to live, but even here, natural hazards and human-induced disasters threaten people, property, environment and cultural heritage. Disaster risk management policies aim to tackle these risks through preventive, preparedness, response and recovery actions.

The EU develops policies that focus on prevention and the reduction of disaster risks as these actions will reduce the impact of adverse events. Increasing the resilience of infrastructure, ecosystems, society, and the economy of the EU is an important strand of disaster risk management work.”
