The activities of the Regional State Administrative Agencies will end at the end the year 2025. Most of our tasks will be transferred to the new Finnish Supervisory Agency, which will launch its operations on 1 January 2026. Tasks related to animal health and welfare and to food will be transferred to the Finnish Food Authority. Competition and consumer administration tasks will be transferred to the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority.
We oversee the quality and coverage of rescue services in different areas. The service level of rescue services is based on service level decisions made by local rescue services in the area, and the service level must correspond with the area’s needs and emergency risks. We also enforce the implementation of external rescue plans and rescue training workshops in our operating areas.
Our responsibilities also include
reporting the availability and quality of rescue services to the Ministry of the Interior
assisting the Ministry of the Interior in managing rescue services, collecting the necessary data and maintaining situational pictures
participating in the assessment of major emergency management training events for the cooperation between rescue services and other emergency responders in sites vulnerable to major emergencies
promoting the cooperation between different emergency responders in the operating area
