The Netherlands, explained

Landelijk Crisisplan Gas

The national gas crisis plan is the Dutch government's plan for how the Netherlands prepares for and responds to a disruption or shortage in natural gas supply. It sets out the roles of government bodies, companies and regions during such a crisis, and it is revised from time to time as conditions change. It matters because gas heats many Dutch homes and powers much of industry, so the plan determines how supply is protected in an emergency.
