| Summary: | In an increasingly connected global economy and society more people are (and will continue to be) affected by shocks, irrespective of whether 'high-impact events' are actually becoming more frequent or not. To explore our preparedness for HILP events in this context, Chatham House has examined the ash cloud that spread across Europe in April 2010 to draw lessons for other HILP events. In particular the analysis considered the nature of decision-making and coordination before, during and after the ash cloud; the impact of scientific uncertainty; the economic consequences and the role of communications. |
