Abstract
Engelsk sammendrag (abstract): A marked increase in crises, uncertainties and perceived risks has impelled the government of Norway

to reconsider its contingency plans and devolve its emergency management capacity to local authorities. It has

become imperative that any effective emergency management require collaborative effort at the local level, with

municipalities sharing strategic resources, including knowledge repositories. The municipalities’ lack of necessary

resources to provide emergency management services, as required of them by law, compel them to seek ways of

cooperation and coordination with other municipalities in their proximity. Municipalities have come to a realization

that efficiency in anticipating and handling crises is dependent on the way they collaborate with each other. To

remain prepared municipalities must share the knowledge needed to plan, anticipate and handle emergencies.

Participating municipalities are obliged to establish knowledge-sharing strategies in order to promote interactions

between crisis management practitioners. This paper examines the emergence of communities of practice in a

crisis management inter-organizational partnership in a county in Norway. The paper identifies factors that

advance or inhibit knowledge sharing process in this partnership.
