Summary
Aarhus Byråd decided on Wednesday 26 August 2026 to approve the Magistrat's recommendation on strengthened emergency preparedness at the municipality's nursing homes.
The background is the budget agreement for 2026–2029, in which the agreement parties agree to strengthen emergency preparedness by establishing emergency power supply. The initiative includes mobile emergency power at selected emergency-preparedness nursing homes that will serve as evacuation sites. Other nursing homes are being prepared for connection to emergency power.
Teknik og Miljø had requested a capital appropriation of 5.5 million kr. for the purchase of three mobile generators and the preparation of 52 nursing homes in cooperation with Sundhed og Omsorg. The appropriation is financed from existing discretionary funds with 3.0 million kr. in 2026 and 2.5 million kr. in 2027.
The Magistrat recommended on 11 August 2026 that the byråd approve the recommendation.
