Extreme weather events, including heavy rain, floods and heatwaves, are becoming increasingly common. The risk of natural disasters, such as landslides or forest fires, is also on the rise.

Take the following steps to increase your preparedness in support of government authorities:

• Find information through your municipality's website or about the risk of, and preparedness for, landslides, erosion and flooding where you live.
• Visit or krisinformation.se to get advice on how to prepare for extreme weather.
• Find out if there is a fire ban in your area before you ignite a fire or grill. Information is available at and other websites.
• Pay attention to the weather forecast and download apps that provide weather warnings; for example, krisinformation.se, the Swedish public broadcaster Sveriges Radio, and SMHI Väder. All issued warnings should be taken seriously.
