The key messages of this report are:

There is not enough funding for emergency preparedness and where it does exists it needs to be better coordinated and less complicated and fragmented. 
There needs to be further investment in emergency preparedness activities, as the benefits far outweigh the costs in terms of reduced caseloads, unit costs of response and disaster losses.
While there are advantages to enhancing existing financing mechanisms, simply bolstering the existing system is not sufficient, and at the very least a global solution must be considered.
