The plan, named Flóttahjálpin (the refugee support system), aims to provide services such as:

• Finding or supplying accommodation

• Transport on arrival

• Interpretation services

• Provision of food and clothes

• Provision of furniture and utensils

• Guidance and support regarding health matters

• Psychological counselling

• Guidance from social workers

• Social networking services and language teaching

• Financial support

• Job-seeking support

Organisations and businesses that wish to contribute to the refugee response plan can register here (text is in Faroese only).
