4.2.6 Long-term issues for Crisis Management
Long-term scenarios as elaborated in WG5 will potentially lead to variations in the scale and characteristics of future incidents,
but the types of crises analysed in WG4 were found to be robust also in the long-term view, potentially with growing incidence
rate (natural disasters and humanitarian crises e.g. due to climate change, industrial accidents e.g. because of increasing
technological complexity and interconnectivity).
Most identifi ed CM challenges, in particular those dealing with information, communication and coordination needs will
remain highly important in the long-term. They correlate with the “scenario-independent” characteristics of Crisis Management
and its needs. Logistics could be clustered in this group as well.
Some challenges, however, vary in their importance, from (G) – where the demand for capabilities to tackle these challenges
