MCF — In case of crisis or war (PDF)Common questions
- What is “If crisis or war comes”?
- It is Sweden’s widely distributed household brochure (MCF / formerly MSB themes) explaining how residents should prepare for serious accidents, extreme weather, IT attacks, or military conflict.
- How long should I prepare for?
- Official advice is that most people should manage on their own for at least one week so help can prioritise those who need it most.
- How much water?
- At least three litres per person per day for drinking and cooking, stored cool and dark, with periodic checks. Municipal tanks may appear in shortages, but you still need a home reserve.
- Which radio channel matters?
- Sveriges Radio P4 is the official channel for emergency information. Keep a battery, solar, or crank radio and know your local P4 frequency via krisinformation.se.
- How much cash?
- Guidance often suggests around 1,000 SEK per adult in mixed denominations, plus other payment options.
