The Swedish Government Is Warning Citizens to Be Prepared for at Least a Week Without Help<\/a><\/h3>\n

The Swedish government is warning its citizens to be prepared to survive on their own for at least a week,\u00a0 which is unusual advice for Sweden to dispense. Is there trouble on the horizon?<\/p>\n

Shortly before Christmas, the Swedish government quietly published a paper called \u201cResilience.\u201d Initially, the requirement had been for people to be prepared for 3 days without help, but it seems like that was a baby step. The government itself wants to be prepared for a 3-month long civil emergency and they\u2019re urging citizens. to take responsibility, too.<\/p>\n

It really makes you wonder what is looming ahead, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

A publication called SVT reported today:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBecause we have the security policy situation we have today, we say that we will make our planning at government level to face a security crisis for three months,\u201d says Eva-Lena Fj\u00e4llstr\u00f6m, Deputy Director of the County Administrative Board in V\u00e4sterbotten.<\/p>\n

Previously, it has been said that citizens will be able to cope for three days in the event of a crisis.\u00a0Now it\u2019s extended to one week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s important that you can manage yourself.\u00a0Society has changed and is vulnerable and complex with many dependencies.\u00a0It can easily be a disturbance so we have to manage ourselves, \u201csays Eva-Lena Fj\u00e4llstr\u00f6m. (source<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The same publication provided video instructions<\/a> for putting together a \u201ccrisis box.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Swedish government is also urging young people to get better prepared.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also interesting to note that back in November, an article introducing the idea of preparedness was published and geared toward 18-year-olds. (One must also wonder if this is a gentle nudge toward a potential draft?) It referenced a study done to measure the preparedness levels of the country\u2019s young people.<\/p>\n
