Civil preparedness is often discussed in terms of national systems and emergency response. Yet in practice, preparedness is built and maintained through local and regional governance, everyday services, and public communication. This webinar presents a Nordic policy overview of civil preparedness, focusing on the roles and responsibilities of municipalities, regions, national authorities, citizens, civil society and businesses. Through presentations and discussion with Nordic practitioners, the webinar explores how preparedness is organised across countries, what works well, where challenges remain, and whether Nordic cooperation adds value at the local level.
