Emergency Preparedness
When a crisis occurs, it is too late to prepare.
A crisis can arise when you least expect it. Norwegian authorities recommend that citizens prepare to be self-sufficient for at least one week in the event of a crisis. Are you prepared? With a few simple measures, you can strengthen your emergency preparedness and increase safety for you and your family.
Are you prepared?
Norway has long been spared from having to think about preparedness. We have been fortunate to have lived in a peaceful and safe corner of the world. Perhaps we have also been a little naive? Unforeseen events such as extreme weather, natural disasters, or states of war are no longer something we can close our eyes to.
Emergency preparedness is not about fearing the worst, but about being prepared if something unexpected should happen. If society is hit by a crisis, it may take time for help to reach everyone. Having enough food, water, heat, and necessary supplies ensures that you and your family can maintain safety if the public system becomes overloaded.
We live in a time of increasing uncertainty, and Norwegian authorities recommend that citizens take responsibility for their own emergency preparedness. We see that the DSB (Directorate for Civil Protection and Emergency Planning) and the Civil Defence receive increased resources and intensify their preparations, but the individual's private planning is just as important. Each household should be prepared to manage on its own for at least one week in the event of a crisis, and both companies and individuals must take responsibility for their families and employees.
How you can contribute to Norway's preparedness
Norwegian authorities recommend that as many people as possible are prepared to manage for at least one week. This is because municipalities and emergency services must prioritize those who cannot manage without help in a crisis situation.

Secure heat and power when you need it
In a cold country like Norway, heat is absolutely crucial, and in the event of a power outage, heating can become a major challenge.
Stay warm with Euroheater 2D
Euroheater 2D is a powerful and portable air heater developed for use during crisis situations. It has an output of 2 kW and has been tested in temperatures down to -45°C. With a 7.5-liter fuel tank, the Euroheater 2D can provide continuous heat for up to 31 hours at the lowest setting, making it a reliable heat source during an emergency.
Efficient heating with Euroheater 4D
Euroheater 4D is a more powerful air heater with an output of 4 kW. It has been tested in temperatures down to -45°C, ensuring reliable heating under demanding conditions. The Euroheater 4D is equipped with a 7.5-liter fuel tank that delivers continuous heat for up to 72 hours at the lowest setting. It is excellent for larger areas in crisis situations.
Reliable power with Flexibatt
Flexibatt is a compact and powerful battery. With high capacity and fast charging, it is an ideal solution when the power grid fails. The battery can power everything from lights and communication equipment to heating devices such as Euroheater 2D and Euroheater 4D. In addition, it supports solar charging, which ensures a continuous power supply regardless of the situation.

Why is emergency preparedness important?
When a crisis occurs, society can be affected in several ways. Here are some reasons why emergency preparedness is crucial.
- Critical infrastructure can fail.
Electricity, water and portable networks may be unavailable for short or longer periods. - Food supplies may be affected.
Delays in deliveries can lead to empty store shelves. - Health and emergency services may be overloaded.
In major crises, it may take time for help to reach everyone. - Power outages can lead to prolonged lack of heating.
Become part of the preparedness effort
By taking a few simple steps, you can make a big difference for your own safety. Start with the most important measures: Ensure you have food, water, heat, and alternative power sources. Small investments today can mean safety and stability in a crisis situation. Learn more about how you can strengthen your emergency preparedness on Oslo municipality's website.
