A number of events and their health-related impact have been investigated. The events were chosen as they are becoming increasingly common as a consequence of climate change. Based on the analysis of such events a typical chain of consequences has been outlined and the organisations and functions affected ascertained. An analysis of the preparations made by these varaious organizations in terms of what types of planning has also been performed along with what actions would be taken if specific events were to actually occur. The findings were then discussed with a number of organizations in the Vasterbotten region of Sweden.
