Finland’s geographic location in the North has made Finns build up preparedness even before the concept of resilience was created.

Today, current political uncertainty would require enhanced preparedness everywhere in Europe.
It is of utmost importance for resilience that remote Arctic areas remain inhabited. Locals are the first ones to notice unusual activity, suspicious looking strangers or unfamiliar technical equipment. Strong societal resilience serves against hybrid activities.
