The Emergency Preparedness Day is included in the national emergency preparedness week, which is run by the MSB. Because well-informed and committed residents are a great asset when society's functions are put out of play, it is important to reach out with information, advice and tips.
The European CBRNE Centre invited to an Emergency Day in the fall, as part of the centre's 10th anniversary. As the response was very positive, both from visitors and participating organizations, it was decided to follow up with an Emergency Preparedness Day also in the spring.
All activities during the day are free of charge and runs between 11:00 and 15:00.
