RAYVN / Proactima to deliver a state-of-the-art emergency preparedness, risk assessment and critical event management solution throughout Norway

The Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection (DSB) announced that RAYVN / Proactima has been selected to deliver an integrated solution for regional and municipal emergency preparedness, risk assessment and critical event management.

The RAYVN / Proactima solution will enable the DSB to prepare for and coordinate a response to any unexpected incident or emergency as well as take advantage of Proactima’s DMAZE solution for risk assessment. The awarded contract covers all of Norway, including 11 regions, civil defense authorities, 356 municipalities and other government agencies.

"Crisis support tools are absolutely essential for effective management, handling and sharing of information during incidents where time is an important factor," says DSB director Elisabeth Aarsæther.

RAYVN / Proactima is an all-Norwegian consortium that represents the best of technological solutions for crisis management systems, expertise and capacity. In addition to the critical event management software, tools for risk and vulnerability analysis, exercise planning and consultancy services are integral to the overall solution.

The DSB awarded the contract to RAYVN / Proactima because this offering scored the highest for both quality (60 percent weighted) and price (40 percent weighted) as compared to other competitive solutions.

"We are proud and happy to have been chosen for this important and exciting contract. The agreement shows that public preparedness is developing with constant improvements. There was strong competition, and we look forward to delivering high-quality services that will help strengthen future public preparedness. The RAYVN solution ensures effective collaboration and secure communication across multiple teams and stakeholders during a critical incident," says RAYVN’s co-founder and Chief Product Officer Henrik von Schlanbusch.

"With increased complexity, risk and new vulnerabilities, new knowledge, methods and tools are needed to understand and manage risk: a completely different degree of interaction and cooperation in emergency planning, training and handling is vital. Together RAYVN / Proactima have the right knowledge and needed tools to deliver a solution that enables increased social safety / security and strengthened preparedness," says Proactima CEO Trond Winther.

Currently, RAYVN and Proactima are implementing the solution and training users so that the DSB is ready to go live on 1 October 2023.
