Nordic Countries Update Civil Preparedness Guidelines Amid Growing Security Concerns
Sweden, Finland, and Norway have released updated guidelines for citizens to prepare for potential crises, including war. Sweden’s revised pamphlet, ‘If crisis or war comes’, aims to inform the public about necessary precautions in light of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Finland has also published digital advice, and Norway has distributed paper copies urging readiness for emergencies. These initiatives reflect a significant shift in security awareness in the region, especially since Sweden and Finland joined NATO.
