5.15 Strengthening crisis resilience
Finland develops its national crisis resilience across the board. Preparations
and contingency plans are made for situations which threaten or harm security
or wellbeing so as to anticipate or prevent such situations in advance. Attention
will be focused on adapting to, or recovering from, a range of disruptions and
disturbances.
Improving the national crisis resilience covers a wide variety of activities ranging
from maintaining the defence capacity and internal security to countering
information operations as well as from fighting pandemics to surviving manmade and natural disasters. Developing cooperation between the different
sectors and actors of society is an integral element in strengthening crisis
resilience and preparedness against disruptions. This preparedness will be
implemented in concert through the principle of comprehensive security. The
relevance of preparedness legislation, a prerequisite for strengthening crisis
resilience, will be reviewed. The Security Strategy for Society will be updated
to meet the changing security environment. The relevance of the forms and
structures of cooperation among the authorities will be certified. Foreign and
security policy supports the strengthening of national crisis resilience.
