Municipality is heatproof if

• Together with the drinking water company, make an inventory of current and future bottlenecks for drinking water supplies in extreme heat.
• Make agreements on measures to safeguard the drinking water supply.
• Draw up a communication plan for residents that explains policy and crisis measures in the event of a drinking water shortage.
