V\u00e5r Energi will retain its own 2nd line emergency response organisation, but will now have OFFB as an important partner across a wide range of emergency response services \u2013 including training and exercises, courses, a call center for next of kin, crisis communications, and the Operator\u2019s Centre for Evacuees and Next of Kin (OSEP).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new agreement means that we now have standing emergency response at all our OSEP locations throughout the year. This will benefit all our members,\u201d says Haug.<\/p>\n
