Each municipal executive belongs to one of the twenty-five safety regions.{{cite web |author1=Ministry of Justice and Security |title=Safety Regions Act |url=https://www.government.nl/documents/decrees/2010/12/17/dutch-security-regions-act-part-i |access-date=6 December 2020 |date=April 2013}} Together they are responsible for drawing up joint regulations for crisis management and for administering the emergency services (fire brigade and {{Ill|Regional Medical Assistance Organisation|nl|Geneeskundige Hulpverleningsorganisatie in de Regio}}) in their respective region.
