    Social media in exercises Social media in exercises Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) MSB contacts: Carin Rencrantz, +46 (0)10-240 42 54 Christina Schenning, +46 (0)10-240 42 37 Project group participants from the Swedish Defence Research Agency Jiri Trnka Magdalena Granåsen Susanna Nilsson Order No. MSB445 - September 2012 ISBN 978-91-7383-263-2 Foreword 3 Foreword Exercises are important to everyone, at local and regional as well as national levels. Practice is indisensable to ensure the ability to prevent, prepare and plan and, above all, to develop the skills to manage crises within the Agency’s own operations and and in its collaboration with others. However, support for and guidance on the management of social media is currently in very short supply. Consequently, the Execise Section at the MSB has taken the initia- tive to create support for developing and training the use of social media within the field of societal protection and preparedness. In general, the management of a crisis is greatly dependent on how the public perceives the message and information relating to this crisis. Social media have altered the information landscape, which, in the event of a crisis, all actors must relate to and take into account in designing their information and communication strategies. Social media create a faster information flow, which generally occurs in real time, and they are often a powerful and important instrument to be considered in the emergency manage- ment of accidents and crises. Social media can be used to open a dialogue and promote transparency with regard to preventing and learning from accidents and crises.

  • The Future Water Supply of Växjö Municipality
    This paper is English translation of : FRAMTIDA VATTENFÖRSÖRJNING FÖR VÄXJÖ KOMMUN - BEDÖMNING AV OLIKA ALTERNATIV. VATTEN 63:299–311. Lund 2007 The Future Water Supply of Växjö Municipality – Evaluation of different alternatives by Nasik Al-Najjar, School of Technology and Design/Civil Engineering, Växjö University, S-351 95 Växjö e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The water supply in Växjö municipality has since 1887 been based on surface water from Lake Helgasjön. A water treatment plant was built in 1957 and was extensively reconstructed in 1969 but there are still problems to accomplish with drinking water quality, mainly related to temperature, smell and taste, manganese and aluminium rest. The present water consumption has periodically approached the water treatment plant maximum capacity. A performed risk analysis showed that catastrophic consequences for the water supply could occur due to an accident in a nearby traffic route or discharges from an industrial area. In 1997 Växjö municipality decided to perform a comprehensive investigation of different alternatives for future water supply. Seven alternatives were evaluated including remedial measures at the present water treatment plant. The chosen alternative was based on supply and conveying ground water from the Berga Esker in Ljungby municipality. Re-infiltration of ground water will be used to guarantee the required water quality and quantity and will be implemented in autumn 2008 with a planned supply of 200 l per second delivered to about 70,000 persons in the municipalities of Växjö and Alvesta. The article describes the different alternatives, motives for the chosen alternative and the evaluation procedure. Key words – Ground water, infiltration, water supply, water treatment, Växjö municipality Sammanfattning Dricksvattenförsörjning i Växjö kommun har sedan 1887 baserats på ytvatten från Helgasjön.

Implementeringen av Agenda 2030, EU:s vattendirektiv och Sveriges miljömål studeras i en kvalitativ textanalys med hjälp av teorier om implementering och förändringsprocesser samt tidigare forskning. Policydokument och åtgärdsprogram jämförs med utfallet av åtgärder på lokal nivå för att frilägga i vilken grad målen förverkligas. Studien visar att tillsynsvägledningen behöver stärkas och att sanktionsmöjligheter behöver införas för att fattade beslut om vattenmiljömål ska kunna implementeras effektivt och få avsedd verkan.

  • Government Communication 2011/12:56 a Coordinated Long-Term Strategy for Roma Skr
    Government communication 2011/12:56 A coordinated long-term strategy for Roma Skr. inclusion 2012–2032 2011/12:56 The Government hereby submits this communication to the Riksdag. Stockholm, 16 February 2012 Fredrik Reinfeldt Erik Ullenhag (Ministry of Employment) Key contents of the communication This communication presents a coordinated and long-term strategy for Roma inclusion for the period 2012–2032. The strategy includes investment in development work from 2012–2015, particularly in the areas of education and employment, for which the Government has earmarked funding (Govt. Bill. 2011/12:1, Report 2011/12:KU1, Riksdag Communication 2011/12:62). The twenty-year strategy forms part of the minority policy strategy (prop. 2008/09:158) and is to be regarded as a strengthening of this minority policy (Govt. Bill 1998/99:143). The target group is above all those Roma who are living in social and economic exclusion and are subjected to discrimination. The whole implementation of the strategy should be characterised by Roma participation and Roma influence, focusing on enhancing and continuously monitoring Roma access to human rights at the local, regional and national level. The overall goal of the twenty-year strategy is for a Roma who turns 20 years old in 2032 to have the same opportunities in life as a non-Roma. The rights of Roma who are then twenty should be safeguarded within regular structures and areas of activity to the same extent as are the rights for twenty-year-olds in the rest of the population. This communication broadly follows proposals from the Delegation for Roma Issues in its report ‘Roma rights — a strategy for Roma in Sweden’ (SOU 2010:55), and is therefore also based on various rights laid down in international agreements on human rights, i.e.

  • 3Rd Report on Results of Task Force Interventions
    WP4 – Task Forces’ Interventions D.4.1.3 Final report on results of task force interventions Aim of the Task Forces is to provide support to little and medium-sized purchasing organizations (P.O.) for the implementation of interventions of Green Public Procurement related to the energy sector, in order to obtain energy efficiency and CO2 reductions and to build – up skills among local staff so to promote further replication of GPP in the public sector. The results obtained in terms of energy savings and CO2 reduction will contribute to reach the targets of the EU 2020 strategy and, in the long run, the promotion of the GPP approach in the target regions will positively influence the development of the local markets towards sustainable development. The Task Forces of the 6 target regions are composed by staff members of the project partners with the participation of external experts and stakeholders (aimed to provide training, technical support and to promote networking), this means in general 5-15 people directly working together under the coordination of the TF leaders (LEIF, REA, RAEE, ESS, ZEA, LIG) benefiting from further support provided by ICLEI. According to the specific situation, the Task Forces have carried on different activities aimed to the implementation of the interventions which, beyond specific technical activities (like identification of environmental criteria to be inserted in the tenders and evaluation of effective solutions for implementation of energy efficiency), varied from awareness rising and GPP training, to legal support, to collaboration with suppliers and existing GPP networks. Preparatory activities for interventions Engagement of project beneficiaries During the first project period the list of beneficiaries selected at the beginning of Primes has been revised according to the ongoing situation in the partners’ territories so that new participants have been involved and are now committed to the project activities (see the list below).

  • The Bionett Handbook
    Biofuels Handbook Best Practice Tools and Pilot Projects Produced as part of the Bio-NETT Project Foreword This Handbook aims to spread the knowledge and information on biofuels attained during BioNETT Project. It seeks to increase awareness and improve know-how of both the biofuels supply chain actors and end-users and in addition, to stimulate investments on biofuels production and promote projects on biofuels use in private and public fleets. The result is an easy to use booklet containing seven (7) sections with useful information for potential investors, producers and users of biofuels. The “Biofuels” section deals with the main issues of raw material production and processing and biofuels production, distribution and use. Moreover, the contribution of biofuels and the environmental benefits from their use are addressed. The “Third Party Financing Opportunities” section comprises an easy to use database on the available financing opportunities for development of energy crops, investments in biofuels and biogas production and promotion of alternatives fuels in nine (9) European Member States: Bulgaria, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom. In the “Biofuels Strategies” section the main European and BioNETT Member States strategies and policies to support and promote biofuels are described. The “Sources of Technical Advice and Information” section deals with key issues of biofuels production and use: Development of business plans, Scale and technologies selection, Contract agreement among biofuels chain actors, Health and safety issues, Upgrading of biogas, By- products utilisation, Shifting from fossil fuels to biofuels, Life cycle analysis and Biofuels sustainability issues. In the “Technology ranges and implementation” section three pioneer projects of biofuels use in vehicle fleets, which have inspired BioNETT partners, are described: biodiesel use in Taxi fleet 878 in Graz, bioethanol use in Municipal FFVs fleet of Stockholm and biomethane use in public buses in Lille.

  • Strategies, Processes, and Results for the Future Water Supply Of
    water Article Strategies, Processes, and Results for the Future Water Supply of the Växjö Municipality: Evaluation of an Evidence-Based Case Study of Long-Term Strategies within the Water and Wastewater Sector in Sweden Nasik Najar 1,* and Kenneth M Persson 2 1 Department of Construction Engineering and Lighting Science, School of Engineering, Jönköping University, 551 11 Jönköping, Sweden 2 Division of Water Resources Engineering, Lund University, Box 118, S-221 00 Lund, Sweden; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +46-736-556-581 Received: 10 July 2019; Accepted: 8 October 2019; Published: 16 October 2019 Abstract: In 2009, the Bergaåsen Water Supply Scheme was put into operation to ensure the future drinking water supply of two municipalities in southern Sweden. Bergaåsen replaced two vulnerable water treatment plants. It was implemented in an environment that was characterized by sensitive recipients and limited access to water. This article aims to analyze how strategies were developed to meet sustainability requirements, if this solution has ensured good quantity and high quality after ten years of operation, and the extent of the project’s economic impact on consumers. The project was analyzed as an evidence-based case study using semi-structured interviews, surveys, and document analyses. The study found that the chosen options succeeded in guaranteeing outstanding quality and secure delivery. Over 90% of water users were satisfied and had trust in it, and less than 3% were dissatisfied. The design time for withdrawal capacity has been extended from 30 to 50 years through planned measures. The study clarifies also that, due to some externalities, there has been virtually no economic impact on users.
