The Swedish government is distributing an updated crisis preparedness brochure, "If Crisis or War Comes," to households starting November 18. This 31-page guide, an expansion from its 2018 version, emphasizes self-sufficiency for at least a week in the event of a crisis or war.

Citizens are advised to manage essentials like water, food, and communication independently.

The brochure also highlights the importance of community solidarity, urging individuals to not burden societal resources.

New sections address nuclear threats and practical tips for managing without utilities.

The initiative aims to equip citizens with knowledge to maintain calm and readiness amidst global uncertainties.
