In the European Netherlands, a safety region (Dutch: veiligheidsregio) is a public body whose task is to facilitate regional cooperation in dealing with crises, disasters and disruptions of public order.

Each municipal executive belongs to one of the twenty-five safety regions.

[1] Together they are responsible for drawing up joint regulations for crisis management and for administering the emergency services (fire brigade and Regional Medical Assistance Organisation [nl]) in their respective region.
