The new Emergency Response Centre: Ready to respond when disaster strikes. Natural and man-made disasters continue to increase in number and intensity since many years: in 1975 there were 78 recorded disasters worldwide; since the year 2000, the number has consistently been between 310 and 432 per year, including in Europe. This is why we need to scale up our efforts to provide a coordinated European disaster response in solidarity with the affected countries and populations to save lives and help the most vulnerable. As the central element of this, the European Commission has today opened its new Emergency Response Centre (ERC) in Brussels. http://ec.europa.eu/echo/news/2013/20130515b_en.htm
