We live in an increasingly troubled world – partly as a result of climate change, war and digital threats. Even though most things are working as they should in Norway, we must be prepared for extreme weather, pandemics, accidents, sabotage and, in the worst case, acts of war to hit us.
Are you prepared?
How will you and your loved ones cope if the power goes out for a longer period? What do you do if the water disappears? What if you can't shop for a week?
Power outages can cause tap water, sewage systems, medical equipment, electric car charging, payment solutions, internet, mobile phones, radios, refrigerators and cooking facilities to not work as normal.
Self-preparedness is about being prepared for such situations.
Strengthen your self-preparedness!
Good self-preparedness is an investment in the safety of you and your loved ones, and you also help the authorities to prioritise those who need the most help.
By being prepared for a week, you will be better able to handle everything from small disruptions in everyday life to major crises. In addition, you have more time to plan the way forward if the crisis should be prolonged.
Remember that some preparation is much better than nothing!
Self-preparedness for one week
In the checklist for your self-preparedness, you will find examples of things that are a good idea to have at home. You should review your needs and consider what solutions are possible where you live. Remember that family, friends and neighbours can work together on self-preparedness.
