According to the County Administrative Board's statement from June 2020, the municipality must “increase knowledge of where in the municipality there are risk areas for flooding”.

Ödeshög has, however, "managed the risks of impact due to climate change in a satisfactory manner".

- If the opinion is from 2020, it is based on our old master plan from 2010. Then we did not have the same focus on these issues.

We adopted a new general plan in September last year and in connection with it we made a separate VA plan which also includes stormwater management, says Rebecka Bäck, community construction manager in Ödeshög municipality.

SVT's review shows that in many municipalities new homes are being built and planned in places with a risk of flooding because lake views and water levels are sought after.
