The report adds details on the economic impact of disasters in Spain and stresses the need for faster EUSF assistance. It expands calls for prevention, adaptation, and preparedness, including for vulnerable groups and outermost regions. It clarifies that EU solidarity complements but does not replace national responsibility for disaster management. It adds references to democratic scrutiny, budget capacity, and the 'build back better' principle.
