Implementation Plan

Implementation Plan

The absence of a disaster management authority in Trondheim urges the Svartlamon community to establish an emergency disaster committee as soon as possible to take charge of community-level response actions and preparedness actions, and to coordinate with the municipal or higher level of stakeholders. The Svartlamon Disaster Committee will include representatives of Svartlamon residents, Svartlamon Residents Association, Svartlamon Housing Foundation, Svartlamon Business and Culture Foundation, representatives from Trondheim Kommune, and potentially from other stakeholders. Undoubtedly, the implementation of the response actions will involve a wide range of stakeholders. There will be one stakeholder for each response strategy in terms of responsibilities to lead the implementation.

The implementation plan adopts the needs-based approach. Emergency needs assessments will be implemented promisingly by the Svartlamon Disaster Committee at the first place upon the occurrence of a disaster. The assessments will lay foundation for prioritizing the planned response actions and implementation methods.
