SWEDISH PREPAREDNESS

Prepare at home. Act calmly when something happens.

Brief, source-linked support for Swedish preparedness. This page does not show active warnings, shelters, or locally available help.

Independent preparedness guide, not an official service

01

Act now

Choose a situation and follow current authority instructions whenever they are available.

Power outage and winter warmth

Reduce heat loss and follow your grid operator and authority information. Use equipment only as intended.

  1. Gather in one room and add warm layers.
  2. Conserve battery and follow P4 (Sveriges Radio’s local radio channel) or other official information.
  3. Never use a grill, generator, or camping stove indoors.

Disrupted drinking water

Always follow your municipality’s water notice. Boiling applies only to a communicated microbial risk; it is not universal water treatment.

  1. For a boil notice, boil water as your municipality instructs.
  2. For chemical contamination or toxin risk, do not drink it; use the alternative stated by the responsible authority.
  3. Seek healthcare advice or Poison Information after suspected exposure; do not guess.

Air-raid alarm: seek shelter immediately

An air raid alarm is not a VMA.

  1. Seek protection immediately.
  2. Use the nearest shelter, cellar, or another protected place.
  3. Follow further authority messages when safe.
