Emergency Preparedness Analysis - Forest fires

The Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection (DSB) has analysed forest fire emergency preparedness in Norway in relation to the experiences from fires in the Nordic region in recent years and expected climate change in a ten-year perspective. The primary purpose was to provide an assessment of whether current emergency preparedness can handle the forest fires we should be prepared for in the future and, if it cannot, what it will take to ensure that the emergency preparedness is good enough.
