The document discusses climate change scenarios and flood modeling. It notes that climate change scenarios are needed for flood mapping and risk planning. Currently, this type of climate change and flood modeling is only done in the city of Pori, and their experiences are being used in Rovaniemi and Kittilä. The document also mentions a flood that occurred in Kittilä in 2005 and shows images related to flood risk mapping and climate change modeling of river flows.

2. New organizations started 1.1.2010
 There are 15 Centres for Economic Development,
Transport and the Environment that started
operating on January 1st, 2010.
 The tasks of the Centres comprise those of the
former Employment and Economic Centres,
Road Districts, Regional Environmental Centres and
State Provincial Offices.
 The Centres operate in close
collaboration with the Regional Councils.

3. Floods and Climate Change
 Climate change scenarios are needed for flood
mapping and risk response planning.
 Currently, this kind of climate change and flood
modelling is done only in the city of Pori and
experiences and best practise from there are used
also in Rovaniemi and Kittilä.
 The local adaptation strategy themes, for example
tourism and flooding, in WP3 are taken into account
in this demonstration project.

5.  The user of the flood information system will be
able to choose the most appropriate flood risk
maps as map layers in the GIS environment, by
using the visualizations made in advance

10. What happens after Clim-ATIC (after Feb
2011)?
 Risk response planning continues
 Land use plans are updated.
 Regional council of Lapland is planning to make
climate change strategy for the whole Lapland.
Timescale is to the year 2030.
 Results and experiences from Clim-ATIC are used
there.

11. Your top 3 lessons so far?
 Vuotos reservoir is big issue in Lapland. Climate
change does not justify it.
 Climate change has small affect to floods.
 It is a major challenge to give the flood risk maps
such a visual expression that each ”risk layer”
can easily be seen
