This website contains key information on how public authorities, organisations and people in the Netherlands can prepare for risks and emergencies. The National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security pools the information, working with all the ministries and regional, local and civil society partners.
We live in a time when a great deal is taken for granted – power from the socket, signal on your phone, full shelves in the shops. Until suddenly it is no longer there. The world is changing fast, and that requires action from all of us. Because when things go wrong, the authorities and the emergency services cannot be everywhere at once. The first three days are our responsibility. Your responsibility. Our joint responsibility.
Denk vooruit is an invitation to play your part. Think ahead is not a fear response; in fact, it’s a way of preventing panic. Those who are prepared are stronger, keep their cool and can also be there for others. And that starts at home – with a torch, some extra water and a plan. It’s not big or complicated, but it is valuable. The great thing is: if you start by taking the first step now, you are not only helping yourself, you are also contributing to a more resilient society. And that’s something to be proud of.
What you do matters. You don't have to figure it out on your own. Denk vooruit is here to help you- with practical tips, relatable examples and the support of organisations across the country. From sports clubs to supermarkets, from schools to faith communities, more and more people are getting involved. So think about what’s important to you, when it comes down to it. And take action - in a way that suits you. Because if we do something now, we’ll be stronger later. Together. Think ahead. What you do today will make us stronger tomorrow.
