Ten years after the adoption of the Hyogo Framework of Action, a long way remains to achieve truly resilient societies to natural and technological hazards. The increasing impact on people, property, livelihoods, heritage and the environment of natural and technological disasters in European and Mediterranean countries proves that, in spite of the constantly improved response capacity to disasters through an increased co-operation and better mechanisms of coordination, reduction of vulnerabilities and improved knowledge of risk and preparedness of societies remain far more complicated task to achieve.

The impact on people, property, livelihoods, heritage and the environment of natural and human-caused disasters has grown in Europe and the Mediterranean over the last ten years. While the increased vulnerability of our societies to disaster is partly the result of inappropriate urban planning, more intensive land use, environment degradation and insufficient preparedness, climate change seems to be causing a rise in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events resulting in more drought, heat waves, wildland fires, storms, floods and coastal catastrophic events.
