Water scarcity is projected to become a major problem with almost half the world's population living in areas of high water stress by 2030[11]; New risks are emerging with potentially highly disruptive consequences (space weather related events, multi-risk events such as the 2011 Fukushima triple disaster, risks in a digital and high-tech era, including cyber risks); Extensive risk events (small scale, highly frequent, and localised events such as flash floods, fires and landslides) are often underestimated and under-reported but they nevertheless undermine local development as well as national competitiveness; Economies are globalised and increasingly structured around complex global supply chains ...[+++]; as demonstrated by the 2011 Floods in Thailand the economic shock of a disaster can ripple out to economies and businesses on the other side of the world; Economic and financial downturn puts pressure on national budgets to secure disaster risk management funding.

The partnerships concluded by ECHO with the above organisations and the setting-up of rapid funding procedures mean that the Community is a front-line donor in sudden disasters.

While acknowledging that disasters can exacerbate existing tensions and instability, the strategy will not address man-made disasters such as conflict and war.[18] Consideration will be given to both slow- and rapid-onset disasters; to large-scale as well as localised but frequently occurring disasters such as landslides, flash floods, fires, storms, outbreaks of human and animal diseases and plant pests, bearing in mind that they may require different approaches.

"But while we can prepare for many challenges we must also be ready for those we cannot predict – and 2011 put us to the test with sudden and often simultaneous natural disasters in Japan, South-east Asia, Turkey, the Horn of Africa and with conflicts in the Middle East, North Africa and Cote d'Ivoire.
