The Norwegian Emergency Preparedness System is
a contribution to the efforts of the UN agencies and non-governmental
organisations (NGOs) to reach disaster areas without delay and provide
them with the right kind of personnel and relief supplies.
Preparedness stocks of carefully selected Norwegian
relief items and life-saving equipment have been established both
in Norway and in disaster-prone areas. Supplies can be airborne
within 24 hours. Teams of relief workers are available for taking
part in relief operations within 72 hours.

NOREPS system. |
