The DSB and the Norwegian Civil Defence manage a pool of experts in several disciplines who can provide support to the UN and the EU in the event of international disasters, particularly at an early stage. This includes experts for the UN Crisis Assessment Team, and the EU's corresponding team.
The experts are part of multinational teams and assist the authorities in coordinating international aid and assessments.
In recent years, our experts have participated in a number of international disaster situations. The experts can also provide other support to the international organisations between missions, and through courses and exercises.
