For cooperation between stakeholders in the field of emergency and crisis management.
Certain authorities have a specific responsibility for societal emergency management i.e. to reduce societal vulnerability and to deal with emergencies and disasters when they occur. These authorities are divided into six groups based on identified cooperative needs, known as cooperative areas (CA).
The aim of the CA, through preventive work and in cooperation with authorities and other interested parties, is to identify how emergency management ought to and can be strengthened.
The six CA areas are:
- Technical infrastructure
- Transportation
- Hazardous substances
- Economic security
- Geographic responsibility
- Protection, rescue and care
Swedish Maritime Administration takes part in CA areas Transportation and Protection, rescue and care.
