About NIPV

As a centre of expertise providing high-quality knowledge in the areas of contingency planning, crisis response and firefighting strategies and techniques, NIPV and its Netherlands Academy for Crisis Management and Fire Services (NACB) aim to contribute to a safer and more resilient country. For 2023, we focus on four topics that are vital to ensure a safe future for our society: climate adaptation, a safe energy transition, information-driven security and societal resilience. Our headquarters is based in Arnhem, with a logistics centre located in Zoetermeer.

Publications in English

The operational domain of NIPV is the Netherlands, so most of our publications are in Dutch. NIPV has made an English translation of a selection of case studies, research reports and publications.
