4. PROFESSIONALS INTERPRETATION
Professionals from cross-sectorial organizations:
- Have different understanding of the rational of risk- and crisis
management field
- Are unfamiliar with other professions competence and routines
- Interpret the situation similar, but how to act differently
- Bomb situation – police matter
- Evacuation of elderly – a matter of the elderly care personnel

5. WORKSHOP LEARNING
Workshops do have an impact on learning about how other
professionals interpret the situation and how they would act and
could therefor:
- give useful information preparing for multi-organizational
collaboration
- be used as a training tool for risk management and emergency
preparedness
- be used pre-crisis to support risk manager in their risk-, and
crisis planning
