The aim of CoSafe is to increase the safety for inhabitants and tourists in sparsely populated areas in case of a major accident or disaster. In these areas of the Northern periphery the resources are limited in terms of trained personnel, adequate equipment and transport capacity. These matters provides challenges during rescue operations in sparsely populated areas together with harsh weather conditions and long transport distances.
In our project we want to learn how other countries are prepared in order to be able to handle these situations. We will together find out if there is a best practice concerning organization, education models and special equipment, but also learn from each other.
The project aims to develop transboundary cooperation, not only when it comes to dealing with disaster situations, but also in terms of equipment alternatives, education methodology and organization system.

The aim of CoSafe is to increase the safety for inhabitants and tourists in the sparsely populated areas of the Northern periphery. This will be achived by increasing the preparedness for major accidents and disasters and to develop the emergency medical care in this region.
Improved disaster preparedness and better prehospital care will increase the basic safety for inhabitants and tourists in the NPP region. The frequency of major disasters are low and the experience of managing these situations are limited, if any. However, major accidents, a bus crash, an airplane crash or a ferry accident will occur sooner or later even in these areas. The preparedness is therefore of great importance.
The project will create:
Collaborative training methods and exercises in management of major accidents and disasters
New enhanced safety products and services, covering different perspectives and the full spectrum from the scene of accident via pre hospital care to hospital care.
An NPP network and an internet based community for disaster management in sparsely populated areas, the CoSafe network.
Easy to use products and equipment for patient’s protection, overall safety of patients and rescue personnel and improved remote communication during the rescue processes.
New services and products useful in training, planning or management of major accidents and disasters especially adapted for sparsely populated areas. More...

GUIDE GUIDE is a webbased application which can be used to help plan the preparedness for major accidents and disasters. It can also be used during an emergency to help locate equipment and other resources. The program is based on Google map which means it can be implemented anywhere in the world.
SNAM The Swedish National Air Medevac (SNAM) exercise was conducted in September 2009 in Akureyri, Island. The exercise was organized in collaboration with the Swedish and Icelandic Cosafe teams. The aim of this exercise was to strengthen the international cooperation concerning the preparedness for emergencies and disasters. A report has been written and posted on the homepage.
Casualty protection tests Tests have been performed on common covering for casulaties used in Scotland, Iceland, Finland and Sweden. Thermal insulation and effect of wind and moisture was meassured. The results shows the effect of adverse weather conditions on the different coverings used for casualties. The information from the tests can be implemented in every day work as well as for major accidents and disasters.
