This programme represents an interesting example of a policy that is both ex ante (because the set of potential assistance measures is pre-determined) and ex post (because the choice of a concrete set is determined following the event and based on the assessment of particular conditions). This decision-making process allows interaction amongst stakeholders (of the National Adverse Events Committee) and it is therefore well-informed, and may take into account the various positions of the stakeholders. For example, it clearly mentions the primary responsibility of the individual to be prepared for an adverse event and any recovery actions that necessarily follow.
