Today, the European Commission published the results of the Special Eurobarometer on the attitude of public opinion towards European civil protection actions in the Member States. The results show a strong consensus among the citizens of the European Union on the need to coordinate civil protection actions across the EU.
The vast majority of respondents (94%) in the 27 EU member states think that when an EU country is hit by a disaster too big to deal with alone, other EU countries should provide help. A similar percentage (91%) is in favor of the EU providing aid to any country in the world affected by a disaster.
