economictimes.indiatimes.com — November 19, 2024, 09:01 AM UTC

Sweden and Finland have updated their crisis preparedness guidance for citizens amid rising security concerns following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Sweden is distributing over five million copies of a booklet titled "If Crisis or War Comes," while Finland has launched an online resource. The Swedish booklet includes advice on emergency supplies, evacuation plans, and mental health support. It has been revised to address modern threats like cyberattacks and extreme weather. Finland's new website offers similar guidance for coping with power outages and military conflicts. Both countries, now NATO members, emphasize public readiness as part of a broader strategy to enhance regional security. This shift marks a departure from their previous policies of neutrality, reflecting the changing geopolitical landscape in Europe.
