The purpose of this contribution, which is to be included in the debate on risk mitigation policies and instruments or disaster support, is to describe the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) intervention framework. This fund, created in 2002 and renewed in 2014, is an instrument capable of intervening retrospectively and on different levels on the territories affected by a natural event at high intensity. Since 2020, the operativity of the Fund has also extended to actions to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, representing, well before the composition of the so-called Recovery Fund, the first form of support against the economic and health disaster generated by the pandemic. Recalling the theoretical context, the contribution focuses on the description of the Fund and, with reference to Italy, identifies the resources allocated and maps the areas of intervention.

Abstract
The purpose of this contribution, which is to be included in the debate on risk mitigation policies and instruments or disaster support, is to describe the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) intervention framework. This fund, created in 2002 and renewed in 2014, is an instrument capable of intervening retrospectively and on different levels on the territories affected by a natural event at high intensity. Since 2020, the operativity of the Fund has also extended to actions to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, representing, well before the composition of the so-called Recovery Fund, the first form of support against the economic and health disaster generated by the pandemic. Recalling the theoretical context, the contribution focuses on the description of the Fund and, with reference to Italy, identifies the resources allocated and maps the areas of intervention.Pubblicazioni consigliate
