Sweden and Finland Update Crisis Preparedness Guides

In response to escalating security concerns stemming from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Sweden and Finland have begun distributing updated civil preparedness guides. Sweden is sending out five million pamphlets titled 'If crisis or war comes', which provide essential survival instructions and emphasize the necessity of stocking up on food, water, and emergency supplies. Finland has also launched a new website outlining similar preparedness measures, urging citizens to be ready for power outages and potential attacks. Both countries, having recently joined NATO, stress the importance of resilience and readiness among their populations. Norwegians are receiving pamphlets advising self-sufficiency for at least a week in case of crises. The Nordic nations collectively encourage citizens to prepare for various scenarios, reinforcing the notion that preparedness is a civic responsibility in today's global climate.
