Hello
My name is Rickard Elwing and I am basically a professional officer. In January 2022, I started RESÄK CONSULTING.
With a focus on security, preparedness, crisis management.
I have extensive experience from the Armed Forces regarding the areas concerned, I am a specially trained military operations manager MIC who has the main task of leading and cooperating with civilian actors and authorities in crises or major societal disruptions.
I consult both smaller and larger companies, municipalities and regions regarding how to try to work preventively and how to act and be able to prepare in the best way when a crisis or disturbance in society arises that affects the business.
With all electronic aids and communication that have a natural part in a modern society, how do we act in the best way to reduce the consequences and how do we act preventively in order to be able to conduct business in difficult situations.
I have worked out a concept where we collaborate initially where I tell about my business. If you want to move on, I do an in-depth interview with the various managers who are responsible for each unit. Which gives their view of the frictions that occur for their activities in the event of, for example, a longer power outage.
Example: the power supply in a municipality disappears for a longer period of 7-10 days. It is not known if there is a disturbance in the network or if any external impact has occurred via the electricity network of a hacker group. The forecast that you receive from the supplier is that troubleshooting is in progress.
Everything is affected The security alarms stop working and the medical record systems are down. How is the availability of critical medicines, there are separate stocks of healthcare items.
Commercial kitchens find it difficult to run businesses and deliver food to schools and care.
The opportunity for the rescue service and home care to refuel their vehicles disappears. Is there a separate emergency stockpile of fuel in the municipality or are we thinking of, for example, preem.
The communication disappears after three hours, the mobile masts put down how do we ensure that the communication works in the management team and reaches out with information to citizens. In this mode, only fixed telephony works.
School activities are affected by how long we can run the business.
The fire alarms in larger meeting rooms are connected to GSM networks or copper lines.
Water posts have now been set up to collect water for the citizens. But what do we do with reference for faecal handling, these must be handed in in a special container for recycling and incinerated at a later stage.
Heating cabins and emergency storage with wood.
Trade and supplies how should we conduct this? Perhaps some cash management should remain and the effort to procure agreements with local farmers should exist.
Supplies with a long shelf life that can be turned into our own production, we have our own warehouse in the form of dry food.
How many citizens have the home equipment that MSB has issued? If they do not have this or opportunity, where will they turn.
The questions are many and to meet this, I will prepare an operational safety analysis together with you. Where we capture risks that arise in the business when a crisis or disruption occurs. Then a protection plan is drawn up where we manage the risks where I provide feedback with advice and analysis.
It all depends on what conditions you have in the business. With my study, you can choose to proceed with various measures or wait with larger investments and work further with the issues within your own organization.
For example, Service och Teknik must have the opportunity to have a contingency warehouse with fuel that is sold in its own operations.
Perhaps the purchase of a power plant is needed to supply power to certain sensitive parts of a municipality, for example a nursing home.
How do we communicate and lead and coordinate the activities in the municipality when a crisis arises.
The purpose of the study is to make visible the risks that exist for the business so that one can work preventively with the issues and be able to act more quickly initially in the event of a crisis or disruption.
This is a method that can be used when it comes to the activities of municipalities or larger companies.
But also consults in other issues concerning safety, preparedness, crisis management depending on customers’ wishes for more information visit the website www.resak-consulting.se

Sincerely
RESÄK CONSULTING
