N: The European Union (EU) supports the integration of disaster risk reduction (DRR) among the political objectives of developing countries. These countries are particularly vulnerable on account of their geographical and economic situation and their level of poverty. The analysis, mitigation and prevention of risk factors should make it possible to reduce the effects of natural or technological disasters.
