Finnish households to receive paper emergency preparedness guide in January
The guides will cover how to prepare for disruptions and crises, including the threat posed by drones.
In January, Finland's Interior Ministry plans to distribute over 3.5 million printed emergency preparedness guides to households and businesses across the mainland. The guide will provide crucial information on how to prepare for disruptions and crisis situations, with a growing emphasis on the threat posed by drones. Interior Ministry project manager Ira Pasi highlights the importance of having this guide readily available in print, as it ensures access for all, particularly for young adults and urban residents who are less prepared.
While online guides are cheaper and easier to update, Pasi stresses that an offline version is equally vital. The guide will be a concise summary, consolidating essential advice from various authorities and organizations, including the Suomi.fi preparedness guide and the 72hours website. The advice on drone safety will be sourced from the rescue services' website.
Pasi emphasizes that the guide is not a rigid set of requirements but a flexible, adaptable resource for individuals to tailor to their unique circumstances. The preparation and distribution of the guide will cost approximately two million euros, with versions in Finnish, Swedish, and Sámi.
