We are responsible for infrastructure and functions which could be critical for community operations, locally and/or regionally, and we operate large-scale production sites where a catastrophe could influence the safety of the community. We are thereby subject to control and follow-up by national authorities. These high-risk issues are core to our emergency planning and we keep a high state of readiness through regular training and monitoring exercises. A central emergency team supports line management and ensures crisis handling in accordance with Hydro's requirements and expectations.
A threat and vulnerability assessment forms the basis for preventive measures in all business areas, including our new activities in Brazil.
