Here the authorities will learn to manage crises and wars

Swedish authorities aim to become self-sufficient for crisis management for two weeks, with support from the University of Gothenburg and the research institute RISE.

In an effort to enhance crisis management capabilities, Swedish authorities are developing a plan to be self-sufficient during emergencies such as crises or wars for a duration of two weeks. This initiative comes as a response to the increasing unpredictability of global conflicts and natural disasters, highlighting the importance of preparedness at local and national levels.

To aid in this endeavor, the University of Gothenburg is collaborating with the research institute RISE. This partnership will leverage academic research and empirical studies to design effective training programs and frameworks that help government agencies respond to various situations, including potential military conflicts. The focus will be on ensuring these institutions can operate independently when faced with significant challenges.

This initiative not only seeks to strengthen Sweden's internal capabilities but also reflects a broader trend among nations to bolster emergency management infrastructures in anticipation of unforeseen events. By empowering local authorities with the tools and knowledge necessary for crisis scenarios, Sweden is taking proactive steps to enhance national security and resilience.
