This is phase 6 of the project "Welfare technology in the municipalities of Sogn og Fjordane", funded by the County Governor of Sogn og Fjordane / Vestland. The goal is to continue the work on joint development of knowledge and experience bases and to support and ensure the necessary follow-up activities for the 24 municipalities that are currently participating in the national dissemination project.

One important part of joint activity is related to the development of a regional response center in Flora and to further developing cooperation with the central environment in Hordaland.
