Furthermore, the responses reveal citizens feel mostly exposed to risks linked to the impact of climate change but also security and social risks.<\/p>\n<p>The recent Special Eurobarometer survey asked people in the 27 Member States about their perceived exposure to disaster risks, their level of knowledge and the sources they use to learn about disaster risks. The survey also asked people how well they are prepared for disasters and how much they trust emergency services and authorities.<\/p>\n<p>People in 17 Member States feel most exposed to extreme weather events, such as storms, droughts, and heatwaves. Respondents feel most exposed to wildfires in Portugal and Cyprus, and to floods in Bulgaria. The responses were notably different in Sweden, Denmark, and Czechia where cybersecurity threats top the list. In Germany political or geopolitical tensions, in Estonia critical infrastructure disruptions and in Finland human health emergencies are on the top of the list for perceived personal exposure.<\/p>\n<p>At EU level, almost two-third of respondents said that they need more information to prepare for disasters and emergencies. Moreover, more than one-third of citizens said they have difficulties to find relevant information from public authorities and emergency services.<\/p>\n<p>The survey also shows that almost four in ten people do not have the time or financial resources to prepare for disasters or emergencies. EU citizens also confirmed they trust emergency services to handle disaster situations and provide information and alerts. At the same time, they say that better preparation will increase their individual resilience.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the role of communities, the survey reveals that people largely rely on family members and friends to cope with a disaster, even more than on emergency services, NGOs, and local authorities or government agencies. Almost two-thirds of EU citizens state that they have never engaged in voluntary work to support emergency responder organisations or community-based initiatives to increase disaster resilience, while only 7% of them is currently engaged in the same type of work.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/ip_24_4902\">European Commission<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/europeans-believe-they-need-more-information-to-prepare-for-emergencies-a-recent-eurobarometer-survey-shows\/\">Europeans believe they need more information to prepare for emergencies, a recent Eurobarometer survey shows<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,16292,16293,16294],"class_list":["post-134140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-disasters","tag-emergencies","tag-eu-citizens"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134140"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134140\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
