What would you do if the power went out, the internet stopped working or you suddenly couldn’t get to the office? Would your colleagues know what to do? During the nationwide Think Ahead Week, from 2 to 6 November 2026, these questions take centre stage. Staff across government are also encouraged to think about resilience as part of the wider Think Ahead campaign.
The Think Ahead Week is an opportunity to talk to colleagues about emergency preparedness and agree on what to do if things go wrong. As part of the national Think Ahead campaign, it shows that getting prepared doesn’t have to be complicated.

During Think Ahead Week, civil servants can attend an online lunch webinar every working day at 12:00. Topics include current threats, disinformation, and espionage.
Do you work for a safety region, municipality or other organisation and would you like to raise awareness of resilience in your department? Use the information for organisations and the Think Ahead toolkit (Dutch). You will find ready-made posters, visuals and social media messages there.
