Hydro holds and safeguards infrastructure and functions which on local and regional level might be critical to society. Our hydroelectric power business is subject to control and tight follow-up by national authorities. Parts of the power grid which Hydro utilizes to supply energy to our industry, are also important for supplying the common public. Other areas of importance are the supervision and maintenance of dam installations, and actions to prevent flooding and damage caused by floods along waterways. These issues are at the core of our emergency planning, and we keep a continual focus on maintaining a high state of readiness. This is safeguarded through annual exercises.
A threat and vulnerability assessment forms the basis for preventive measures. A central emergency team is in place to support line management and ensure crisis handling in accordance with Hydro's requirements and expectations.
