Beskrivning

The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) has been tasked by the Government to outline a national risk assessment based on the European Council’s conclusions for risk assessments in the European Union. In the report, the MSB accounts for the work on the national risk assessment and for the available information about the national risk assessment. This national risk identification is a presentation of the work so far, and a first step in the process of developing a national risk assessment in Sweden. Emergency preparedness in Sweden is to a large extent based on the activities of actors at the local, regional and central levels of society, who handle threats, risks and vulnerabilities in Sweden. Later on in the process, the MSB aims to supplement these levels with a national perspective.
