Civil responders
in Southern Småland
About the project
In parts of Southern Småland, it can take more than 20 minutes before the rescue service arrives. Therefore, the project will develop and establish a long-term sustainable model for civil responders (CIP) in the municipalities of Ljungby, Värnamo, and Sävsjö. Through collaboration between municipalities, rescue services, associations, and residents, volunteers will be trained to carry out simple and safe interventions while waiting for professional help.
The project will, among other things:
- Develop local collaboration models.
- Recruit and train civil responders.
- Train 6 instructors or instructor teams.
- Train at least 30 civil responders.
- Develop routines for recruitment, training, equipment, alerting, and follow-up.
- Ensure a long-term organizational and financing model.
