promotes practice that improves emergency prevention and response, and in the event of an incident/accident limits injury and damage. This is achieved by imparting information, by running training courses and holding exercises, and through supervision etc.
The objective of the municipal fire & rescue services is to ensure that the general public is provided with a reasonable degree of safety in relation to local risks.
The Swedish Rescue Services Agency is the central supervisory government authority for the rescue services. Its tasks include examining co-ordination between the various branches of the national rescue services, as well as contingency planning by the county administrative boards for the rescue services in the event of a release of radioactive substances. The agency also collates observations and lessons learned from serious emergencies that have occurred at home and abroad.
It also develops methods and equipment for use by the rescue services; and is responsible for the training of all personnel in the municipal fire & rescue services and in the chimney sweeping service. In addition, the agency implements regulations for safety in relation to the road and rail transport of dangerous goods, and co-ordinates the work of the supervisory authorities in this field.
Extra resources for the rescue services
In the event of oil emissions, equipment from one of the agency’s five oil-combating depots may be used. The agency also has seven depots holding equipment and trained personnel for use when responding to chemical emergencies. Furthermore, the government has an agreement with six municipalities, which states that they are to assist the Swedish Maritime Administration and the Swedish Coast Guard with emergency operations at sea.
Overseas operations
The Swedish Rescue Services Agency maintains a state of emergency preparedness to assist other countries with rescue and humanitarian aid operations. The majority of personnel employed on such assignments are recruited from the municipal fire & rescue services.
Organisation
The central administration offices for the Swedish Rescue Services Agency are situated in Karlstad. Our four colleges at Revinge, Rosersberg, Sandö and Skövde provide the training for all the personnel in the municipal fire & rescue services and in the chimney sweeping service |

The DG Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission aims to provide customer-driven scientific and technical support for the conception, development, implementation and monitoring of EU policies. As a service of the European Commission, the JRC functions as a reference centre of science and technology for the Union. Close to the policy-making process, it serves the common interest of the Member States, while being independent of special interests, whether private or national.
IES. The Weather Driven Natural Hazards (WDNH) Action is developing harmonised EU-wide methodologies and information systems for the prevention and prediction of weather-driven natural hazards to complement national initiatives. As prevention and forecasting studies on trans-national floods and related disasters have to take into account complete river basins independent of administrative boundaries, the Action works closely with international river conventions like IKSO, IKSE and IKSD, to which the European Commission is a contracting party. Furthermore, prevention and preparedness studies carried out by the Action take also into account regional development and spatial planning aspects because long term regional development trends will affect the vulnerability towards natural disasters. http://natural-hazards.jrc.it |

The Regional Hydro-meteorological Service of the Public Regional Agency for Prevention and Environment of the Emilia-Romagna region in Northern Italy. ARPA-SIM has developed a recognised expertise in the field of weather forecasts over limited area. Regional forecasts have been produced on an operational basis at ARPA-SIM since 1993, nesting the limited area model LAMBO (horizontal resolution of about 20 km with 31 vertical levels) on ECMWF operational global forecast. Since September 2000, the non-hydrostatic limited area model Lokal Modell (horizontal resolution of about 7 km with 35 vertical levels) has also been run on an operational basis. This new mesoscale model has ensured a detailed description of orographic-related processes and a more accurate quantitative precipitation prediction. One of the main targets of ARPA-SIM is to provide quantitative precipitation forecasts at the highest possible degree of spatial and temporal accuracy and to define an alarm system for local flooding. Since 1998, ARPA-SIM has been investigating the possibility to produce limited area ensemble forecasts. Within COSMO consortium (web link http://cosmo-model.cscs.ch), a probabilistic approach to the predictability problem was attempted for short and medium ranges over limited areas, this leading to the operational implementation of a limited-area ensemble prediction system over Central and Southern Europe. |

In the area of troposphere research, fundamental studies are performed with regard to the climate, water cycle, and trace substance budgets. For this purpose, atmospheric processes, such as turbulence, convection, cloud formation, aerosol physics, precipitation formation, and exchange processes on the Earth's surface are investigated in detail by measurements and theoretical methods.
The results are incorporated in models of the atmosphere to adequately represent processes in climate system and weather phenomena. Research activities focus on influences of orography on the wind and precipitation distribution, transports and conversions of water, energy, trace gases, and aerosols in convective systems, regional climate variability, and weather hazards due to storms, heavy rains, and thunderstorms. Particular attention is paid to the further development of own model systems and instruments. The results of all activities are taken into account when studying the influence of man on the chemical composition of the atmosphere and climate as well as when assessing weather hazards. |
