Karlstad sits on Lake Vänern at the mouth of the Klarälven, the heart of Värmland's forest and lake country. CityAlert maps Värmlands län's share of the Polisen national events feed — crimes, fires, traffic accidents and disturbances — alongside safety news from SVT's Värmland desk. Polisen places Värmland events at the county centroid, so pins show county-level, not street-level, location.
