Abstract English	This thesis studies all regional risk- and vulnerability analyses of Swedish county administrative boards from 2006. The method used in this descriptive study is direct content analysis based on theoretical models and relevant research areas. In total, 51 questions for each of the 20 county administrative boards has been answered where some answers have been quantified. The results of the study reveal that the analyses are insufficient as data for decisions regarding national emergency preparation. The main problems with the analyses are: (1) lack of connection between the analysis and proposed actions, (2) vast differences in general structure, purposes and scope between the different counties, (3) lack of thorough documentation of the procedures such as background and motivations and (4) no systems for quality control. To mitigate these problems the new proposed agency for risk matters is suggested to be given authority to regulate requirements on risk- and vulnerability more strictly. This includes work towards nationally set tools, frameworks for processes and clear key definitions. Cooperation between agencies with central responsibility contra county administrative boards with regional responsibility also needs to be improved.
