The Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection ({{langx|no|Direktoratet for samfunnssikkerhet og beredskap}}, DSB) is a Norwegian government agency under the Minister of Justice and the Police. DSB's general purpose is to protect Norway and its citizens from accidents, disasters, and other incidents. Examples of areas of responsibility for the DSB include prevention, crisis management, studies and analysis, civil/military cooperation, training, evaluation, and supervision. In addition, civil defense is subject to regulation by the DSB, as is cyber security.{{Cite web|title = Rejlers Wins Contract for the Digitization of Electrical Safety|url = https://finance.yahoo.com/news/rejlers-wins-contract-digitization-electrical-074100545.html|website = Yahoo Finance|accessdate = 2015-12-21}} The DSB is also involved in international crisis coordination groups.{{Cite web|title = Network of crisis management organizations step up cooperation with UNHCR|url = http://www.unhcr.org/51274efc6.html|website = UNHCR|accessdate = 2015-12-21}}
