Psychosocial preparedness is a collective term for the part of the response to an emergency that focuses on the psychological impact, especially for victims and their relatives. The report documents that 40% of municipalities have no preparedness, and 76% have never used it. Ask Elklit has criticized the consulting firm behind the report for only asking municipalities and regions, but not citizens who needed psychosocial help. There is no proactive help, and studies from the Danish Center of Psychotraumatology indicate that authorities fail to address the needs of disaster victims after the first few days.
The Danish Center of Psychotraumatology has several projects investigating psychosocial interventions for trauma victims. You can find more about them here. You can find them here
