Recital 5 a (new)
(5a) Prevention is about a culture of precaution before disasters strike. The Union Civil Protection Mechanism should encourage and help the Member States to plan prevention measures strategically and operationally. The Member states and their authorities work closest to the citizens. The national authorities are best prepared to design and implement the risk management plans. Ultimate responsibility on the deployment of the capacities should stay with the Member States.
