Syftet med uppsatsen är att i ett förändrat omvärldsläge, med ett Ryssland som visat sig berett att använda det militära maktmedlet, undersöka hur arbetet med civilt försvar implementeras på kommunal nivå. Detta genom att skapa en bild av hur kommuner arbetar med krisberedskapsplanering och om detta arbete påverkas av lärdomar från tidigare extraordinära händelser. Uppsatsen svarar genom en fåfallstudie av två kommuner på frågeställningarna: Hur har den nationella säkerhetsstrategin från 2017 påverkat kommunernas planering inför och vid extraordinära händelser i fredstid och inför höjd beredskap? Hur påverkar kommunernas tidigare erfarenheter av kriser planeringen? Studien har genomförts som textanalys av kommunala planer och genom intervjuer av tjänstemän och politiker i två mindre småländska kommuner. Empirin har analyserats genom att använda en analysmodell utgående från Lennart Lundquists implementeringsteori. Resultatet visar att det förändrade omvärldsläget inte konkret påverkat arbetet, men bidragit till att ämnet har aktualiserats. Tidigare erfarenheter påverkar kommunernas arbete vilket till viss del ses i planer och styrdokument och till stor del märks i förståelse och inställning. Studiens viktigaste slutsats är att de övningar och utbildningar som bedrivs bör innefatta verksamheten i höjd beredskap och civilt försvar, vilket kommunerna brister i. För att detta skall implementeras krävs tydliga styrningar om vad som ska övas. / The purpose of this essay is to examine how Swedish municipalities handles civil defense in the context of a new threat level where the Russian leadership has proved willing to use military power to achieve political goals. The essay is a case study of two Swedish municipalities answering the following questions: How has the national security strategy from 2017 influenced the planning before and in extraordinary events both in peacetime and in high readiness? How do the municipalities’ previous crises experiences affect planning? The study was conducted by analyzing municipal documents and plans as well as interviews with officials and politicians in two small municipalities. The empirical data has been analyzed by using a model based on implementation theory by Lennart Lundquist. The study argues that the new threat level and the situation within Europe hasn´t influenced the municipalities significant but it has actualized the subject. Earlier crisis experiences affect the crisis management within the municipalities which in some ways can be seen in plans but mostly in the understanding and the attitude among citizens as well as among professionals and politicians. In summary, the most important conclusion is that training and education should include the activities in high readiness and civil defense in order to reduce the lack of knowledge of the municipalities within this topic. It takes clear guidance and steering from the government on what to practice.
