As a result, preparedness has become a prominent topic of discussion among both the public and policymakers. Potential threats can take many different forms, including power and data communication disruptions, cyber threats, threats related to the natural environment and climate and hybrid interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Finland, municipalities are required to develop contingency plans to ensure that essential services and functions can continue as effectively as possible even during emergencies and exceptional circumstances. Public libraries are a statutory municipal service in Finland and are expected to remain operational also during crises and exceptional situations. Therefore, the role of libraries must be recognized and integrated into municipal contingency planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This event will examine preparedness from different perspectives and from across Europe. What does preparedness mean for the public and for public libraries? How does preparedness take shape in libraries under different circumstances and what examples and experiences already exist within the library sector?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Programme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moderator P\u00e4ivi Jokitalo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>9.00-9.05<\/td><td>Welcome words, Anu Ojaranta, Finnish Supervisory Agency<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>9.05-9.35<\/td><td>When crisis becomes everyday life: What can we learn from Ukrainians?
