Country guidance
Norway
Norway asks households to be prepared to manage on their own for one week — longer than most of its neighbours, and stated in those terms by DSB. Its guidance covers water, heat and light when the power fails, food that keeps, medicines, and what to do when the internet and mobile networks do not work.
