Flood preparedness
The coastal areas of Hamina and Kotka and the lower part of the Kymijoki River are among the most significant flood risk areas in Finland. Seawater and watercourse floods can develop rapidly, which is why it is important for residents and property owners to take precautions on their own.
Village reserve
Village Emergency is a community preparedness model promoted by the Finnish Villages Association, which helps villages and residential areas cope with various crises and disruptions. It is based on close cooperation between residents, local knowledge and shared resources, such as common gathering places, backup power sources and organised neighbourly help.
