In 2019, Rasmussen spoke to TheMayor.EU to discuss the municipality and its projects. The full interview is available here he has addressed the outbreak of the pandemic and what the municipality has done to support Vallensbæk’s citizens and businesses The nursing homes for elderly citizens in Vallensbæk were struck by the pandemic at a very early stage – several of the residents died due to COVID-19 and we didn’t have guidelines from the state health authorities to lean on yet and we established an isolation facility in the parking lot of one of the nursing homes The isolation facility consisted of trailers of the kind normally used by work crews we could provide care for the infected citizens while keeping them separated from those who were not infected Children in daycares and several schools were sent home in isolation and many local businesses lost a lot of their earnings Many citizens volunteered to help where it was needed when the pandemic was at its peak Our nursing staff was busy taking care of the elderly citizens so it was greatly appreciated that volunteers would lend a hand at the test centres and vaccination centre It was still professional staff that carried out the actual tests and vaccinations but the volunteers helped out with a lot of the logistics; for example taking on tasks in regards to parking and queuing escorting vulnerable citizens from their homes We recruited a group of students from our schools to become “corona ambassadors” They came up with ideas on how to nudge their peers to adhere to the guidelines when important messages and guidelines came from the state health authorities the clubs and associations of Vallensbæk helped communicate them out to their members Vallensbæk has many parks and recreational areas and the teachers were quick to take advantage of this A lot of the classes were carried out outside meant more physical activity for the students – with the added benefit of the children learning more about the area This has added new dimensions to the way the schools work and we have subsequently allocated funds to improve the outdoor teaching facilities around schools and children’s daycare centres our citizens have taken advantage of our green spaces and natural areas during the pandemic when many people were working from home had to put up ‘one way’ signs around a popular lake to make people walk the same way many citizens were mostly confined to their homes and couldn’t engage in their usual activities so we tried to come up with alternative activities Our activity centre for elderly citizens started an online “tv channel” the nurses went online giving tips to new parents about baby food – and I invited the citizens to online meetings on Instagram but we offered “book bags” with pre-selected books that citizens could come and borrow we throw a party to celebrate athletes from Vallensbæk who have won medals in national or international championships I had handed out goodie bags to the participating athletes and then we met online and had a digital party with video we realized that our local businesses were challenged with their income we decided to advance renovation projects on our buildings We also made a point of paying bills to local businesses immediately in order to maintain their liquidity Helping unemployed citizens find a job is one of our obligations as a municipality and it has been a challenge to find work for people who were laid off during the lockdown our staff has worked with people in the entertainment industry and tried to help them find employment in transportation or other areas Having a crisis staff during this pandemic has been a great tool for us The crisis staff is a group consisting of myself and a number of key people who would meet online on a daily basis and discuss the current state of the crisis We could quickly take in information and statistics from the health authorities and act on it The 10th European Conference on Sustainable Cities and Towns (ESCT) sets the stage for stronger
