Civil protection

Preparing and updating civil protection documentation, and planning and running exercises for operational forces.

What we do

Our civil protection services cover preparing and continuously updating documentation, with a focus on how it is used in practice.

We specialise in preparing and running complex exercises for the civil protection forces of municipalities, cities and counties, including all logistics and media coverage.

Documents are updated in line with statutory deadlines, usually once a year. With every document we hold a short briefing on its content and the obligations that follow from it.

Civil protection exercises, from local to international

We prepare and run all types of exercises. We visit the site four to five times and meet the heads of every participating organisation.

Preparation usually takes about a month. Sometimes everything is done in around ten days, which creates a more realistic setting.
