Threats towards our society are rarely limited to one secluded territory, neither are the consequences. However, Swedish municipalities are responsible for preparation and coordination of local emergency management within the municipality, Geographic Area Responsibility. One of the major threats to the modern society is failures in large socio-technical systems such as energy and IT- infrastructure. Systems that is essential for the fulfilment of many basic functions in society today. IT-infrastructure is deeply embedded in today's risk-society as well as the modern society is a prerequisite for the IT infrastructure to develop; A process called reflexive modernisation by risk theorist Ulrich Beck. However, the embeddedness is not a physical one, since IT-infrastructure usually is built and maintained by a wide range of actors, usually widely spread geographically. The principle of proximity, which is one of three cornerstones of the area responsibility, is consequently not applicable in this case. One of the main goals of the local crisis management in Sweden aims at building local robustness. This includes social capital as a major force for mobilization. However, the dis-embedding of local organization might have effects also on social structures. Futhermore, as local organization is dis-embedded from local territory, power structures are diffused, making accountability fuzzy; Issues which needs to be clarified and specified before crisis situations. This paper presents the results from a pilot study within the research project Emergency Management for Technical Infrastructure, financed by the Swedish Emergency Management Agency. It explores the awareness, and lack of awareness of the complex spatial dilemma of local risk management. Regional IT-infrastructure is used as a case, because of its legibility; however, the problem is applicable to the general "glocalization" debate. The main problem addressed is how information on how to handle risks and manage crises can be made local even if the system as such is global. As risk is illusive in its character, a "re-embedding" process is vital as it builds local networks with mutual and place-specific information and understanding.
