WHAT IS EUSF? The European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) was set up to respond to major natural disasters and express European solidarity to disaster-stricken regions within Europe. The Fund was created as a reaction to the severe floods in Central Europe in the summer of 2002. Since then, it has been used for disasters covering a range of different catastrophic events including floods, forest fires, earthquakes, storms and drought.

The dataset presents financial and other information on the applications submitted for EUSF support between 002 and 2020.
