Lack of phones and internet. Nationwide action

Norway's nationwide exercises are part of the Crisis Preparedness Week, involving municipalities, emergency services, and civil defense. This year's focus is on functioning without mobile and internet access. The Justice Minister emphasized the need for preparedness for prolonged communication outages. A study revealed that only 30% of residents know where to seek information during such crises. The government encourages municipalities to establish information points that operate without connectivity, citing Ukraine's resilience centers as a model. Households are advised to prepare for a week of self-sufficiency, including storing water and alternative heating methods. Residents are urged to coordinate mutual assistance plans with family and neighbors.
