The Tallinn Crisis Committee reviewed crisis plans on Friday

Tallinn’s Crisis Committee reviewed crisis plans on Friday, September 23rd, 2022, at 14:34. The meeting, held at Utilitas, focused on clarifying previously approved crisis plans. According to Deputy Mayor for Crisis Management, Vladimir Sveti, scenarios involving power outages were discussed, citing potential causes including foreign policy developments and weather conditions.

City officials stated they had not initiated a rush to acquire additional generators. Generators already in the city’s inventory were deemed sufficient, and procurement processes were already underway. The city confirmed it has established protocols for public transport, hospitals, and ambulances during power outages.

Utilitas and Tallinn City also maintain their own crisis plans. Sveti emphasized that the risk of power outages is expected throughout the autumn-winter period and that preparations began long before recent events. He stressed the importance of individual preparedness and the city’s readiness to address potential multiple crises, particularly considering the ongoing situation in Ukraine.

Sveti noted that the Prime Minister’s Thursday evening remarks generated more questions than answers, reiterating that crisis preparation is a continuous process that has been ongoing since before the war in Ukraine. He affirmed that no new fundamental decisions were made on Thursday or Friday morning regarding potential power outages. Further comments are expected in the coming days.
