Update 28/8 at 03:55: The important public announcement has been revoked and is no longer in effect.

On September 7, Sweden's new emergency alert system, SE-Alert, will be tested in Stockholm and Gotland counties. Neighboring counties may also be affected. This will take place at 3.00 pm, at the same time as the quarterly test of the Hesa Fredrik outdoor warning system. SE-Alert sends ‘Important Public messages’ directly to your mobile phone.

One person has died and three have been injured after a person launched an attack with a sword at Brinell School in Fagersta. The perpetrator has been arrested.

Update 26/7 at 11 p.m.: The message is no longer valid.

From 1 July, SE-Alert will be another channel for issuing Important Public Announcements (IPA). Please ensure your phone is updated with the latest software.
