FOR MUNICIPALITIES IN THE SEELAND REGION AND CANTON OF BERN
Practical advice for capable, resilient municipalities
VDRC helps municipalities review crisis preparedness, leadership capability and organisational resilience pragmatically — and derive clear next steps.
- Practical assessment rather than a large-scale project
- Roles, decision paths and documents in focus
- Clear boundaries with civil protection partners
Typical situations
The homepage should quickly help visitors understand whether a topic is relevant to their municipality — without alarmism or sales pressure.
New term of office
Changes in key roles or a need for a structured overview.
Update documentation
Emergency, crisis and contact documentation needs to remain practical.
Understand dependencies
Power, IT, communications and key people as critical factors.
Clarify interfaces
Place the interaction between municipality, partners and civil protection in context.
Prepare exercises
Create a foundation for workshops, exercises and follow-up projects.
What VDRC stands for
The focus is not a theoretical concept but whether roles, decision paths, documentation, interfaces and measures are practically usable in an incident. VDRC works in a structured, calm and municipality-focused way — with a focus on clarity, prioritisation and implementable next steps.

From an initial conversation to an overview of measures — limited in scope, transparent and manageable for the municipality.
1. Initial conversation
Clarify needs, benefit and possible topics without obligation.
2. Define the scope
Agree objectives, approach and required information.
3. Assessment
Conversation, workshop or check focused on practical usability.
4. Review documentation
Review available documentation in a structured and confidential manner.
5. Short report
Summarise strengths, areas for action and prioritised measures.
6. Next steps
Discuss the outcome and put sensible follow-up steps in context.
CONTACT
A first step can remain small.
An initial conversation of 30 to 45 minutes clarifies needs, benefits, possible topics and a sensible next step.
