Höj beredskapen för värmeböljor- en vägledning

The guide contains practical advice for municipalities wanting to lower mortality during heat waves and is based upon work carried out in Botkyrka municipality. A step wise procedure is proposed starting with the formation of a working group composed of persons with different competences after which vulnerable persons in the municipality are mapped out, cool locations identified as well as advices for measures during a heat wave relevant for various target groups. Finally, the recommendation is to distribute responsibility in an action plan where communication is an important part.
