Crisis communication

In the event of a serious incident, you must be able to receive important information, especially from Swedish Radio P4. You also need to be able to follow media reports, keep in touch with relatives and, in emergencies, reach the emergency services, medical services or police.

For those who do not speak Swedish

Even if there is not always information in other languages available from local authorities, they will be able to answer questions in English. Radio Sweden is the Swedish Radio's foreign language channel. In the event of disturbances and emergencies, Radio Sweden can publish and broadcast information in many languages.  If you do not speak Swedish, you can always phone information number 113 13 and get answers to your questions in English. Krisinformation.se will publish information from Swedish authorities in Swedish and English.

Keep up to date 

In a crisis, it's especially important that you can access important public information. Your local P4 channel will give you information on the situation, local weather forecasts, where to get water, where to seek help and whether to evacuate.

To stay informed during a crisis:

  • Battery-, solar- or crank-powered radio
  • car radio
  • hard-copy list of important telephone numbers
  • extra battery/power bank for, e.g., mobile phone
  • phone charger for car use
