Sweden is sending 5 million brochures to its citizens to prepare them for a possible armed conflict. They supply guidance on stockpiling, seeking shelter in the event of a atomic attack, and on emergency behaviour. The country emphasizes the war instructions it sends due to the expanding military threat and the request for readiness for any eventuality.
Sweden mobilises citizens to crisis preparedness
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, authorities in Stockholm have been calling on their residents to prepare for a possible conflict. In the context of the exacerbating tensions between Russia and NATO, Sweden underlines the request for both intellectual and logistical preparedness for worst-case scenarios.
Five million brochures entitled “If crisis or war comes” It'll go to the Swedish mailboxes. The paper prepared by the Swedish Emergency Situation Agency (MSB) contains detailed instructions for natural disasters, cyber attacks, terrorism, and wars. The fresh version of the brochure peculiarly highlights the military threat.
War instructions – how to last a atomic attack
The brochure contains guidelines on how to behave during nuclear, chemical or biological attack. In the event of a threat, residents should search refuge in basements or undergrounds as they supply the best protection. Stockholm emphasizes that after a fewer days the radiation levels are dropping significantly.
The planet is becoming increasingly uncertain and the military threat to Sweden has increased. We must be ready for the worst – armed attack – read the introduction of the brochure.
The instruction besides recalls radio alarms that will inform residents in the event of a direct attack.

Sweden will not quit without a fight – war instructions
One of the key messages of the brochure is simply a call to resistance. "If Sweden is attacked by another country, we will never surrender. Any information about the cessation of opposition is false" is the message to strengthen the spirit of citizens.
This position reflects a defensive strategy that was characteristic of the times of the Cold War. The authorities not only remind of the military threat, but besides prepare the population for the possible usage of atomic weapons.
