Texto completoIdentifiering av lokalt relevanta faror och bedömning av deras risknivåer är en kritisk och komplex del av arbetsområdet beredskap för nödsituationer (eng. emergency preparedness). Myndigheter som bedriver verksamhet inom detta område i provinsen Ontario, Kanada är enligt lag skyldiga att genomföra en ”Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment” (HIRA) process, utvecklad av provinsen. HIRA-metoden är baserad på användandet av risk matriser och står således inför många av denna metods inneboende utmaningar vilket kan resultera i svag riskbedömningsprocess med tvivelaktigt resultat. Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera Ontarios HIRA-process för att identifiera potentialla svagheter, styrkor och luckor i processen och således generera insikt i potentiella utmaningar relaterat till denna typ av riskbedömningsprocess inom ”emergency preparedness”. HIRA-processen, så som den implementerats i York Region och inom dess folkhälsomyndighet, kommer att analyseras baserat på sex punkter identifierade inom litteraturen som aspekter med förmåga att påverka kvalitén på riskdömningsresultatet. Sammanfattningsvis ses att HIRA-processen innefattar många av de svagheter som diskuteras i litteraturen rörande riskmatriser som till exempel fel, tvetydig in- och utdata, dålig upplösning och suboptimal resursfördelning vilket potentiellt medför en riskbedömningsprocess av låg kvalité. För att genomföra HIRA-processen så som metoden är designad behöver användaren investera en betydande mängd resurser samt helst tillgå expertis inom riskbedömning relaterat till de olika farorna som skall bedömas, vilket inte alltid finns tillgängligt inom de organisationen som genomför en HIRA. Dessa aspekter sammantaget bidrar till en process som inte nödvändigtvis når fram till ett av sina primära mål; att skapa en kvantitativ rangordning av risker med förmåga att särskilja olika farors risknivå. Till följd finns en risk att resultatet av riskbedömning inte stödjer den operativa planeringen eller processen för beslutsfattande relaterad till resursfördelning.

Texto completoToday many Swedish organizations have weak capacity to plan and prepare for a large-scale evacuation. According to MSB:s guide on evacuation 2014 todays planning is often considered outdated and feedback of experience is done arbitrarily. Furthermore, interpretation and application of existing legislation is varying. The legislation is generally perceived as unclear and responsibilities between different organizations need to be clarified. The purpose of the study is, based on the experience of international examples and general principles for large-scale evacuation compare it with Swedish context. The hypothesis is that the lack of experience actually implementing the evacuation on a large scale is likely affecting how society's preparedness looks today. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with people in key positions at various agencies on local and regional level in Halmstad, Halland. A qualitative content analysis was used. The study also consists of a case study where Halmstad Municipality and its proximity to the nuclear power plant in Ringhals represent delimitation and a case study. The result demonstrates that knowledge and ability to carry out large-scale evacuation is incomplete or missing. All organizations miss practical experience of large-scale evacuations and envision the implementation as a major challenge. There is a need for planning, in own organization and joint with interested organizations. It is also considered to be expertise within the organizations, as example Varbergs and Kungsbackas municipalities together with Police Authority West has many years of experience in emergency planning and exercises related to nuclear accidents. A joint training program, from general principles, with the aim of creating a common focus and action structure for large-scale evacuation is recommended.

O processo decisório na logística humanitária compreende diversos tipos de prioridades que por vezes estão relacionados com situações de vida ou morte. Neste grau de importância, os objetivos a serem perseguidos pelos tomadores de decisão na situação de um desastre e as restrições do problema devem ser estabelecidos para se alinhar com os anseios das vítimas e com as limitações existentes. Este estudo visa analisar de que maneiras as prioridades conflitantes num problema repleto de incertezas como em um desastre podem impactar o resultado do atendimento humanitário no que tange à sua eficiência, efetividade e equidade (3E). A dissertação apresenta o papel de alguns objetivos e restrições conflitantes (trade-offs) na tomada de decisão durante a fase de preparação para um desastre. Para tal, modelos de otimização estocástica são propostos utilizando-se dos conceitos de desempenho via 3E e sensibilidade ao risco, através da medida CVaR. Os resultados sugerem que a inclusão da aversão ao risco pode levar a um sistema mais efetivo em média. Outro ponto importante é que o modelo de minimização de custos incluindo o custo da falta forneceu uma resposta com melhor desempenho do que na maximização de equidade ou de cobertura de forma independente. Além disso, a restrição de orçamento (eficiência) quando mal dimensionada pode tornar um problema de maximização de cobertura (efetividade) desnecessariamente ineficiente. Conclui-se que a priorização da maximização conjunta da eficiência e da efetividade com restrição de inequidade e sensibilidade ao risco torna o modelo mais preciso quanto ao atendimento das vítimas do desastre.
The decision-making process in humanitarian logistics comprises several types of priorities that are sometimes related to life or death situations. In this degree of importance, the objectives to be pursued by decision-makers in the event of a disaster as well as the constraints of the problem must be established to align both with the needs of the victims and with the existing limitations. This study aims at analyzing how conflicting priorities in an uncertainty-filled problem such as a disaster can impact the performance of the solution with respect to its efficiency, effectiveness and equity (3E). The dissertation presents the role of some decision-making trade-offs within disaster preparedness phase. For this, stochastic optimization models are proposed using the concept of 3E-performance and risk sensitivity, through the measure CVaR. Results indicate that the inclusion of risk aversion may lead to a more effective system on average. Another important point is that the cost minimization model including the shortage penalty provided a better performing response than in equity or coverage maximization independently. In addition, budget constraint (efficiency) when poorly dimensioned can make a problem of maximizing coverage (effectiveness) unnecessarily inefficient. It is concluded that the prioritization of the joint maximization of efficiency and effectiveness with restriction of inequity and risk sensitivity makes a model more precise as regards the care of the disaster victims.

Texto completoRisk- och beredskapsfrågor är idag mycket aktuella inom olika verksamheter. Studien undersökte hur barnomsorgspersonal i Örebro betraktade risk och beredskap i arbetet samt hur känslan av sammanhang (KASAM) samt arbetsrelaterade faktorer som krav, kontroll och stöd påverkade dessa upplevelser. Studien baserades på enkäter byggda på frågeformulären QPS-Nordic 34+, 13 frågors KASAM samt egna frågor. 53 personer deltog. Resultatet visade att den upplevda beredskapen var god i förhållande till den upplevda risken. Krav, kontroll, stöd och KASAM vara alla signifikant relaterade till beredskapsfaktorerna. Endast KASAM hade samband med riskupplevelser. Personer med hög KASAM och högt stöd i kombination upplevde generellt mindre risk samt bedömde beredskapen som bättre. Höga värden på dessa faktorer bidrar till en tryggare arbetsmiljö och bör således prioriteras.
Risk and preparedness issues are currently of interest for many sectors. This study investigated how staff in Örebro’s childcare viewed risk and preparedness and how a sense of coherence (SOC) and requirements, control and support in work influenced these views. The study was based on polls containing items from the questionnaire OPS-nordic 34+, 13 SOC questions and original questions. 53 people participated. The result shows assessed preparedness as high compared to perceived risk. Requirements, control, support and SOC were significantly related to preparedness. Only SOC was related to perceptions of risk. Combined high levels of SOC and support generally make for lower perceived risk and higher assessment of preparedness. This contributes to a safer workplace and should be prioritized.

Texto completoThe occurrence of disasters around the world has in the past few decades increased at an alarming rate, which has necessitated an urgent need for mitigation strategies. As part of its planning and precautionary measures in responding to disasters, the City of Cape Town(CoCT) established a Disaster Risk Management Centre (DRMC) to co-ordinate such occurrences. This study is focused on investigating to what extent the CoCT’s DRMC has prepared individuals and communities to stay resilient.South Africa lies within a region of Southern Africa that has a semi-arid to arid climate,thereby making most parts of the country vulnerable to numerous disasters. Given the prevalence of the localised disasters in the country, they have the potential to overwhelm the capacity of any affected community. Furthermore, in 2011, the CoCT was approached by the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives(ICLEI) to sign up as a Role Model City for the “Making Cities Resilient--My City is Getting Ready’’ Campaign, in collaboration with UNISDR. It became the first in South African City to be granted “Role Model City’’ status, becoming the second African city to be designated as a ‘‘Role Model City’’.The findings of this study indicate that the CoCT, through its DRMC, has tried to heighten awareness in communities to prepare them against disasters. Another important finding is that there is inadequate involvement of communities in CoCT training programmes. Poorer communities, which are mostly affected by disasters, barely receive any form of capacity building, that is, through training. In addition, the language of communication used in brochures, leaflets and other forms of media is mostly in English and Afrikaans, while the majority of people living in informal settlements speak isiXhosa. The study provides an insight into the need to consolidate strategies to address disaster management

Texto completoOur federal, state, and local governments are not investing in the design and improvement of strategies for evaluating the costs associated with natural and man-made disasters and events. In this era of fiscal conservatism, one of the biggest challenges in designing and funding public health preparedness is deciding exactly how much to invest and determining the impact of those investments. This thesis developed a rigorous scientific model to evaluate the benefit of using value-based tools to enhance the effectiveness of public health preparedness programs. The key question that framed this research was: Are public health departments that use value-based decision-making more likely to demonstrate and document higher levels of preparedness competencies? Although this research failed to demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between preparedness competency and value-based decision-making, there were some findings to indicate that VBDM may be useful in decisions that determine the financing of public health preparedness. The ability to analytically demonstrate the benefit of public health preparedness might prove beneficial in attracting additional public funding as well as private funding.

Texto completoThe study examines risk perception and crisis preparedness among personnel at high-schools. The focus is set on teachers and leaders at four high-schools in Örebro municipality, Sweden. The purpose of the study is to examine crisis preparedness and identify factors which influences risk perception and crisis preparedness. The survey consisted of a questionnaire which was completed by 95 respondents. The results show that better information about the crisis preparedness in the schools is needed. Further education is also required, as two thirds of the respondents states that they have not received any training in crisis preparedness. Having personal crisis experience increases the awareness of risks. Being a leader increases both risk perception and the judgement of crisis preparedness of the school.

Texto completoFollowing the United Nations’ International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (1990-2000), and recent high profile disasters, disaster risk reduction has climbed high on the international political agenda. Among the measures that have been highlighted are early warning systems – for Swedish municipalities who are responsible for managing flood risks, early warnings have a potential to facilitate decision-making and ultimately reduce flood losses. This licentiate thesis, based on two articles, aims to describe how a variety of flood warning signals are used in the risk management process of Swedish municipalities, how they can contribute to the flood risk reducing process, and which factors influence the success of this. The articles show that the possible effects from a local early warning system are not only reduced flood losses but also potential spin-off benefits, the occurrence of which is dependent on factors such as organisational culture and the functioning of the wider risk management system, and that municipalities can use a variety of complementary flood warning signals to facilitate decision-making for a proactive flood response which, however, is not systematically the case as benefits are dependent on available resources.

Texto completoFor the last ten years the security situation has deteriorated in Sweden’s surroundings. Swedish society has also dealt with crisis such as the refugee crisis during 2015. To cope with this new situation, the Swedish parliament decided in 2015 to reinforce Swedish resilience toward crisis and armed conflict. An important part of this decision was to increase resilience within society. A major part of the society resilience is that households are prepared to be self-dependent a certain amount of time. However, even though authorities have communicated the new security situation, established a new national security strategy, and released information campaigns, public polls show that less than half of the population has a household preparedness according to the authority’s recommendations.The aim of this systematic review is to investigate which focus areas authority’s information and communication strategies need to address during the prediction and warning phase to effectively encourage households to have a preparedness according to its recommendation.The systematic review has only used peer review articles that has been identified through a systematic search within the databases Onesearch, Scopus and PAIS. The analysis of the articles has taken an interdisciplinary approach which means that we must acknowledge and adapt to the fact that results from the different articles could be influenced by different science traditions. The analysis consists of a qualitative content analysis of the discovered articles. These analyses have shown four main categories, Sender of information, the Recipient, Targeted groups for the communication and the Risk and crisis communication.As additional support in the interpretation of the results we have used the Relational theory of risk and the Protection motivation theory.The result shows that the government, authorities, counties, and municipalities need to see that the level of knowledge and risk awareness needed among the public regarding household preparedness and its importance for the resilience within society is reached. This can be accomplished by information campaigns and through the educational system to make sure that a majority of the public is motivated to obtain a household preparedness according to recommendations.

Texto completoClimate change is now a phenomenon we cannot ignore. It is happening here and now and there is more or less common scientific consensus that so is the case. With climate change come risks that are difficult to predict and to relate to and this affects the integration of these risks in the municipal emergency preparedness. The purpose of the study is to examine the factors that are affecting the integration of climate risks in the municipal emergency preparedness. The result is based on a number of interviews conducted with people working with municipal activities and a Municipal Council. The responses have been more or less clear that the largest factors affecting the integration of climate risks in the municipal emergency preparedness is scientific uncertainty and how this is mediated by international organizations, the fact that there is a common lack of knowledge about the effects that may arise from climate change and that there is also a lower awareness of many of the risks in general. In addition, different effects are differently prioritized which affects the integration of all risks associated with climate change. I have also conducted a document analysis to give further substance to the results I found.

Texto completoSweden is, and has been, relatively spared from injuries associated with wildfires, as seen in global perspective, and wildfires that have required evacuation as a risk management strategy are relatively few. As a result of global warming and a densification of urban areas, the frequency of incidents that could require evacuation as a risk management method may increase in different parts of the country. Literature on the subject is limited from a Swedish perspective and there is a need to examine how evacuation in the event of wildfires is managed in Sweden. The aim of the study is to examine Sweden's wildfire management when it comes to evacuation. This includes the more urgent handling of wildfires as well as the long-term preventive work with evacuation mitigation. The aim is to compare risk management from a Swedish perspective with international research and identify potential improvements that could be implemented in Sweden. The chosen method is semi-structured interviews with a supplemented literature review. The collected data material is treated with a qualitative content analysis. The result of the analysis indicates that the knowledge and ability to carry out an evacuation in the event of a wildfire is inadequate. The results indicate that there is a need to take preventive measures to reduce the uncertainties that are currently associated with an evacuation from wildfire. Preventive measures should be based on a risk and vulnerability analysis, where risks and vulnerabilities are identified, and probability and consequence are assessed based on the local conditions. The risk and vulnerability analysis should result in a management plan with proposed measures, related to policies, resources, and identify gaps in knowledge and the need for education and training for everyone involved in the process.

Texto completoMajor hurricane landfalls are the most dangerous natural hazard threats experienced in the U.S. Television news is a primary sources of hurricane hazard information and has the ability to influence what viewers understand about and how they respond to these events. While it is understood that media plays a central role in communicating weather, it is unknown whether or not news media content communicates the recommended hurricane hazard adjustments that are needed for preparedness and protection. Thus this study supports prior research calling for a closer examination of the role and effects of visual information in media documents. Using the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, the present research employs qualitative media analysis to explore the framing of hurricane preparedness through television newscasts covering Hurricane Katrina from August 23-29, 2005. Key findings from this study suggest that there are five common frames through which hurricane information is presented to viewers of the national news broadcasts surveyed in this study. Preparedness information was found to be mainly represented through visual content but sparsely mentioned in reporting. The study also found that more often visuals were used to aid story development instead of provide educational or instructional messages that model the adoption of hazard adjustments and have the potential to motivate protective actions and behaviors by helping to increase self-efficacy. The present study concludes by discussing underlying aspects of conflict present within the media frames and offering recommendations for better integration of media content into risk communication campaigns for severe weather.

Texto completoRisk och sårbarhetsanalyser (RSA) är en utbredd metod för att värdera en organisations hotbild. Vissa aktörer är skyldiga enligt lag att genomföra analysen för att bidra till en nationell sammanställning av landets risker, varav skjukhussystemet är en av dessa. Denna studie ämnar att förstå hur ett systematiskt arbetsflöde för RSA kan bidra till ökad krisberedskap och resiliens inom svensk sjukvård. Genom denna rapport definieras ett systematiskt arbetssätt som en systematiserad och enhetlig metod i ett dedikerat digitalt verktyg för att underlätta analysen. För att förstå hur ett systematiserat arbetssätt kan öka krisberedskap och resiliens har fyra semistrukturerade intervjuer hållits med sakkunniga personer inom området. Dessa har varit från olika nivåer inom den nationella risk- och sårbarbetsanalyskedjan. Vidare har återkommande möten genomförts med människor som varit direkt involverade i denna typ av förbättringsarbeten från AFRY, tillika en granskning av befintlig litteratur. Resultaten från studien visar på flera svårigheter rörande RSA-arbete - det är tidskrävande, komplext, resursintensivt, och saknar tydlig vägledning i hur arbetet ska utföras. Dessutom visar resultaten ett behov av bättre arbetsprocesser, både rörande hur analyserna ska genomföras samt hur resultaten ska analyseras. De slutsatser som har kunnat dras är att ett systematiserat arbetssätt för risk- och sårbarhetsanalyser skulle kunna bidra till en ökad krisberedskap och resiliens inom svensk sjukvård. Genom att ha ett dedikerat verktyg med en satt process, tydliga instruktioner, definitioner och riktlinjer hade genomförandet av en RSA underlättats samt gett bättre resultat inom ytterligare områden. Att identifiera kritiska beroenden hade förenklats för aktörer inom sjukvården, vilket formar grunden till att upprätthålla dem vid en kris. Vidare hade enhetligt strukturerade resultat underlättat analysen av resultaten för att göra ett nationell riskbedömning. Detta i sin tur hade trolien lett till ökad krisberedskap och resiliens inte endast inom sjukvården, utan även inom andra sektorer.

Texto completoA pandemic flu poses a great risk to society where both social and economic aspects are harmed. Risks require preparedness at both international levels and individual levels and can affect the extent of the risk. This study aims to investigate the individual preparedness of the new coronavirus, covid-19. With support from the framework Protection Motivation Theory which describes people's various behaviors at risk and what motivates individuals to take one or several protective measures. The factors that affect an individual's risk perception and how they in turn influence the individual preparedness are examined in the study. The willingness to pay for a possible covid-19 vaccine is also being investigated. The method used to investigate individuals' risk perception of covid-19 is a quantitative survey. The questionnaire was constructed mainly on the basis of the framework and its factors that states to have influence on individual behavior. Also, the questionnaire was constructed to answer the study's research question and fulfill the purpose of the essay. The survey was conducted by students in three various programs at Karlstads University. The study's results show that students at Karlstads University do not perceive the infection or extent of covid-19 as a major threat at the time the survey was conducted. This has shown that protective measures have not been taken to prevent the spread of coronavirus. The protective measures have not been considered effective to avoid the virus or the spread of covid-19 although they have been recommended by Swedish authorities. According to this study, the willingness to pay for vaccination is high in comparison with what previous vaccines against pandemic flu has cost, although the willingness for vaccination against covid-19 is found only in half of the respondents. Finally, it can be found that risk perception affects individual preparedness in a crisis and that this contributes to what measures are taken. The perception of a risk can affect how information is taken up by an individual, what measures are taken and during a pandemic flu the individual preparedness can affect the extent of a virus spread and by that an entire society.

The findings of this research bring out how relevant are personal factors (e.g., traits), buying, and financial behaviors in predicting individuals’ indebtedness and financial well-being, if compared to predictors of debt and determinants of credit limits commonly used in used in academia and the finance industry (e.g., income, debt/income ratio, past credit usage behavior, the number of credit cards, past debt behavior, gender, age, schooling, marital status). Consumer credit has undergone a tremendous increase during recent decades in both developed and emerging economies. Brazil, which has one of the highest consumer credit interest rates in the world, has also experienced a substantial credit expansion, providing credit access to consumers who had never had access to it before, notably those in the low-income group. Both previous experience and the literature associate the access to massive amounts of credit with suboptimal and destructive forms of behavior such as impulsive buying and over-indebtedness. This kind of behavior undermines the individual’s financial well-being. In the context of financial services and the emerging Brazilian economy, this research project proposes the concept of financial preparedness for emergency (FPE), defined as ‘an individual’s state of being financially prepared to cope with a financial shock. This research posits that FPE is a critical component of financial well-being and extending on previous literature framework of drivers and consequences of financial well-being, it proposes an integrative model that investigates the role of consumer credit, money attitudes, impulsive buying and indebtedness behavior, in predicting consumers’ financial preparedness for an emergency. Employing a covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) method to test the proposed model empirically, this study finds that personal factors, buying, and financial behaviors play a key role as antecedents of individuals’ financial preparedness. The findings suggest that individuals who see their credit limits as part of their income or are anxious about money are more prone to engage in impulsive buying and risky indebtedness behavior. Consequently, by engaging in such patterns of behavior, individuals weaken their state to cope with financial shock, which in its turn might affect their financial well-being. This research further finds that the belief that credit limits serve as income does not change the risky indebtedness behavior of low-income consumers. Furthermore, the findings suggest that the number of credit cards, gender, schooling, and age does not play any role in financial preparedness nor any of the model’s relationships. An explanation of the outcomes and various of their implications is addressed in this study. Overall, the recommendations made focus on individuals, institutions, and policymakers and the responsibility of each of these players to adopt sustainable forms of behavior, such as, building credit usage awareness, adopting and regulating tools that better identify consumers’ traits and behaviors that might lead them, and eventually society as a whole, into sound financial well-being.
Os resultados desta pesquisa revelam quão importantes são os fatores pessoais (por exemplo, traços de comportamento), o comportamento de compra e crenças financeiras, na previsão do endividamento e bem-estar financeiro dos indivíduos, em comparação indicadores financeiros comumente utilizados pela a academia e indústria financeira (por exemplo, renda, relação dívida / renda, sexo, idade, escolaridade). O crédito ao consumo sofreu um tremendo aumento durante as últimas décadas, tanto em economias desenvolvidas quanto nas emergentes. O Brasil, que tem uma das maiores taxas de juros de crédito ao consumidor do mundo, também experimentou uma substancial expansão de crédito, proporcionando acesso ao crédito a consumidores que nunca tiveram acesso a ele antes, notadamente aqueles do grupo de baixa renda. A literatura e experiência de outros países associam o acesso a enormes quantidades de crédito a comportamentos não ideias e ou destrutivos, como, a compra impulsiva e o superendividamento. Esse tipo de comportamento prejudica o bem-estar financeiro do indivíduo. No contexto dos serviços financeiros e da economia brasileira emergente, este projeto de pesquisa propõe o conceito de ‘preparação financeira para emergências’ (FPE), definido como 'o estado de um indivíduo estar financeiramente preparado para lidar com um choque financeiro'. Esta pesquisa postula que FPE é um componente crítico do bem-estar financeiro, e empregando a literatura existente propõe um modelo integrativo de causas e consequências do bem-estar financeiro. Esse modelo investiga o papel do crédito ao consumidor, atitudes monetárias, comportamento impulsivo de compra e endividamento, na previsão da preparação financeira dos consumidores para uma emergência. Empregando um método de modelagem de equações estruturais baseado em covariância (CB-SEM) para testar o modelo proposto empiricamente, este estudo descobriu que fatores pessoais, compras e comportamentos financeiros desempenham um papel fundamental como antecedentes da preparação financeira dos indivíduos. As descobertas sugerem que indivíduos que veem seus limites de crédito como parte de sua renda ou estão ansiosos em relação ao dinheiro são mais propensos a se engajar em comportamentos impulsivos de compra e endividamento. Consequentemente, ao se envolver em tais padrões de comportamento, os indivíduos enfraquecem seu estado para lidar com o choque financeiro, o que, por sua vez, pode afetar seu bem-estar financeiro. Esta pesquisa revela ainda que a crença de que os limites de crédito servem como renda não altera o comportamento arriscado de endividamento dos consumidores de baixa renda. Além disso, os resultados sugerem que o número de cartões de crédito, sexo, escolaridade e idade não desempenha nenhum papel na preparação financeira nem em nenhum dos relacionamentos do modelo. Uma explicação dos resultados e várias de suas implicações é abordada neste estudo. No geral, as recomendações focaram nos indivíduos, instituições e formuladores de políticas e na responsabilidade de cada um deles em adotar formas sustentáveis de comportamento, tais como conscientizar o uso do crédito, adotar e regular ferramentas que identifiquem melhor os traços e comportamentos dos consumidores que possam levá-los, e eventualmente a sociedade como um todo, a um bem-estar financeiro sólido.

Texto completoWater is one of the most important resources we have and it is a prerequisite for society in order to function. Modern society leaves us vulnerable on several levels where drinking water production isthreatened by several types of risks such as water shortages, climate change and war. In order to ensure the supply of drinking water, the operation must be strengthened to create a robust operation and implement safety in a long-term perspective. The purpose of the study was to investigate what it means to raise the standard in drinking water supply and civil defense and also what is expected to be achieved by the municipality in the work to secure access to drinking water based on government goals. In order to be able to answer the purpose, the study has been based on three issues that have focused on what it means for the municipalities to work to strengthen the drinking water supply, what the objectives are and also the riskperceptions regarding the drinking water business. The study is a qualitative interview study with a case study as a design. During the study, eight people were interviewed who at different levels work with drinking water supply and emergency preparedness,the selection of participants is intentional to achieve width and depth in material. The collected data has been transcribed and analyzed with qualitative content analysis. The participants in the study perceive the challenge and threats to the drinking water supply in different ways. They feel that this affects the work of achieving a long-term perspective in the work of securing the drinking water supply and that it is unclear what the goal in the municipalities' work really is. The municipalities' ability to building civil defense and creating safe drinking water operations is based on the government providing them with concrete guidelines and financial means to be able to produce contingency plans and emergency water preparedness. That the municipalities should be able to reach certain target images that exist from higher levels is today not realistic based on the different conditions they have. The work of creating a strong civil defense and a secure drinking water supply will require large resource investments both when it comes to infrastructure, IT and skills development.

Texto completoUna mirada al listado cronológico de los desastres ocurridos desde el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta nuestros días muestra una preocupante tendencia a que accidentes muy similares se repitan dos o más veces. Ejemplos de esta extraña tendencia a la «clonación» de accidentes son los del transbordador Challenger de la NASA en 1986 y del transbordador Columbia en 2003 o los terribles vertidos del Exxon Valdez en 1989, del carguero Erika en 1999 o del barco Prestige ante las costas gallegas en 2002. De la misma manera, algunas crisis financieras que afectaron terriblemente a los pequeños ahorradores tienen puntos en común, como es el caso de la telefonía Worldcom en 2001, de la energética Enron en el mismo año o de la empresa Parmalat en 2003 o la de Lehman Brothers en 2008, por solo citar alguna de estas clonaciones. ¿Cómo es posible que una crisis no genere aprendizaje suficiente para evitar que se repita? Pudiendo asumir que los fallos tecnológicos son cada vez más infrecuentes, ¿por qué no somos capaces de reducir los errores humanos? Y ¿por qué en un mundo que cada ve dispone de más datos y de sistemas de análisis más complejos y eficientes, y que pone a disposición de los gestores software muy potente y eficiente para la toma de decisiones, no somos capaces de prevenir mejor las crisis y los accidentes? Partiendo del modelo sistémico de incubación de eventos críticos en las organizaciones, formulado por Roux-Dufort, junto a sus colaboradores Forgues, Lalonde y Ramboatiana entre los años 1998 y 2015, esta investigación trata de responder a las anteriores preguntas mediante el análisis del contenido temático de las aportaciones de directivos representativos de diferentes tipos de organizaciones. Los resultados indican que todavía hay cierta tendencia a pensar en las crisis como eventos excepcionales e imprevisibles. Sin embargo, se va abriendo paso la idea de que a un evento fatídico se llega tras un largo proceso de deterioro por errores no resueltos que se acumulan y van debilitando la organización. Se ha comprobado que los directivos muestran bastante receptividad ante este concepto. Se concluye que para poder contribuir a la prevención de las crisis en las organizaciones hay que ahondar en dos líneas estratégicas. Por una parte, es necesario consolidar los cambios revolucionarios que se han ido produciendo en las organizaciones en los últimos años con objeto de hacerlas más adaptables a un mundo cambiante y lleno de incertidumbre. Y por otra sería importante dedicar mayores esfuerzos a recuperar las personas, los equipos y las organizaciones tras haber sufrido una crisis. A menudo son los recuerdos y las preguntas no resueltas referentes a un episodio pasado los que obstaculizan colocar la prevención de crisis en un lugar estratégico en el que forma parte de la cultura organizacional y no sólo del Departamento de Riesgos Laborales.
Taking a look at the chronological list of disasters that occurred from the end of World War II to the present day, it shows a worrying tendency for very similar accidents to be repeated two or more times. Examples of this strange tendency to «cloning» accidents are those of the NASA Challenger shuttle in 1986 and the Columbia shuttle in 2003 or the terrible spills of the Exxon Valdez in 1989, the cargo ship Erika in 1999 or the Prestige in Spain in 2002. In the same way, some financial crises that affected common citizen have a lot of points in common like in the cases of the Worldcom telephony scandal in 2001, the energy company Enron in the same year, the failure of Parmalat company in 2003 or that of Lehman Brothers in 2008, just to name a few of these clones. How can it be that crisis do not generate enough learning to avoid their repetition? Assuming that technological failures are increasingly rare, why are we not able to reduce human errors? And why in a world that is increasingly able to use more complex and efficient analysis systems, which makes powerful software assisted decision-making available for managers do we still not succeed in better crisis prevention? Starting from the systemic model of incubation of critical events in organizations, formulated by Roux-Dufort, together with his collaborators Forgues, Lalonde and Ramboatiana between the years 1998 and 2015, this research tries to answer the previous questions by analysing the contributions of representative executives of different types of organizations. The results indicate that there is still a certain tendency to think about crises as exceptional and unpredictable events. The idea, however, is making its way that a fatal event is reached after a long process of deterioration due to unresolved accumulate errors that weaken the organization. Managers have been found to be quite receptive to this concept. It is concluded that in order to contribute to the prevention of crises in organizations, it is necessary to delve into two strategic lines. In one hand, it is important to consolidate the revolutionary changes that have taken place in organizations in recent years in order to make them more adaptable to a changing world full of uncertainty. In the other hand, it would be important to dedicate greater efforts to recovering people, teams and organizations after having suffered a crisis. Very often, memories and unresolved questions about a past episode are the reasons why crisis prevention are not placed at an strategic level, where it would be part of the organizational culture and not just within the Occupational Hazards Department.
