Next generation emergency communication

Designing a shared vision for the future through user involvement

Anna Tronstad, Senior advisor at DSB
Kevin Ehrenberg, Designer at Halogen
Jonathan Romm, Specialist at Halogen

The next generation emergency communication is a complex eco-system of user needs, technology, systems, and services. Do we, across sectors, disciplines and roles, have a shared vision of what this eco-system looks like in the future?

The Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection invited a diverse group of user organizations and end users to co-create a shared vision for Norway’s next generation emergency communication, facilitated by the design agency Halogen.

The process and the result was presented in this session, showcasing a design-led multiple stakeholder foresight process for resetting expectations of a digital emergency service platform coordinated by The Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection.
