Self-preparedness
When the crisis occurs, it is too late to prepare.
Crisis can strike when you least expect it. Norwegian authorities recommend that citizens prepare to be able to fend for themselves for at least one week in the event of a crisis situation. Are you prepared? With a few simple measures, you can strengthen your self-preparedness and increase the safety of you and your family.
Are you prepared?
Norway has long been spared from having to think about emergency preparedness. We have been lucky to have lived in a peaceful and safe corner of the world. Perhaps we have also been a little blind? Unforeseen events such as extreme weather, natural disasters or states of war are no longer something we can turn a blind eye to.
Self-preparedness is not about fearing the worst, but about being prepared if something unexpected happens. If a community is hit by a crisis, it can take time for help to reach everyone. Having enough food, water, heat, and necessary supplies ensures that you and your family can maintain security if the public system is overwhelmed.
We live in a time of increasing uncertainty, and Norwegian authorities recommend that citizens take responsibility for their own preparedness. We see that DSB and the Civil Defense are receiving increased resources and intensifying their preparations, but individual private planning is at least as important. Every household should be prepared to fend for itself for at least one week in the event of a crisis situation, and both businesses and individuals must take responsibility for their families and employees.
How you can contribute to Norway's emergency preparedness
Norwegian authorities recommend that as many people as possible be prepared to survive for at least a week. This is because municipalities and emergency services must prioritize those who cannot survive without help in a crisis situation.

Secure heat and electricity when you need it
In a cold country like Norway, heat is crucial, and in the event of a power outage, heating can be a major challenge.
Stay warm with Euroheater 2D
The Euroheater 2D is a powerful and portable air heater designed for use in emergency situations. It has an output of 2 kW and has been tested in temperatures as low as -45°C. With a 7.5-liter fuel tank, the Euroheater 2D can provide continuous heat for up to 31 hours at its lowest power, making it a reliable source of heat during an emergency.
Efficient heating with Euroheater 4D
The 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 in demanding conditions. The Euroheater 4D is equipped with a 7.5-litre fuel tank that delivers continuous heat for up to 72 hours at the lowest output. It is excellent for larger areas in emergency 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 lighting and communication equipment to heaters such as the Euroheater 2D and Euroheater 4D.

Why is self-preparedness important?
When a crisis occurs, society can be affected in several ways. Here are some reasons why self-preparedness is crucial.
- Critical infrastructure can fail.
Electricity, water and mobile 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 become overloaded.
In major crises, it may take time for help to reach everyone. - Power outages can lead to a prolonged lack of heating.
