Sažetak
Current Croatian heath waves prevention measures have been operational for several years. The measures are coordinated by Ministry of health in collaboration with Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service, Croatian Academy of Medical Sciences, Croatian Institute of Public Health, Croatian Health Insurance Fund, Croatian Institute for Emergency Medicine, and many other institutes regarding health and civil protection. Critical meterological threshold values for heath waves are determined in correlation with mortality data. According to them during summer daily warnings are issued from DHMZ towards all partners in the prevention system. Depending on the strengths of the issued alarm, various protection measures are implemented. In this study, heat waves will be discussed from the UCTI definition perspective. We expect this study can improve current Croatian heath waves prevention measures.
