This 63-page report describes the methodology used for collecting and analyzing heatwave plans of European Union (EU) countries, which were evaluated to help find a standard for developing a heatwave plan and apply this to the development of risk communication strategies. The overall objective of Supportive Risk Awareness and Communication to Reduce Impact of Cross-Border Heatwaves (SCORCH) is to reduce the impact of heatwaves on urban populations through improved risk communication based on existing EU plans and guidelines.
