Test of the outdoor warning system

On June 2nd, the outdoor warning system is tested at 15.00 (3 pm). The signal sounds for 7 seconds, with 14 second breaks, for a total of 6 times. Afterwards, the “all clear” signal is tested, which is an uninterrupted 30-second signal. Read more on how the emergency warning system in Sweden works.

Grass and forest fires

The risk of grass and forest fires is high in parts of the country. Be very careful if you are planning to light a fire.

How to help others

There are several ways to help others in a crisis. Strengthen your home preparedness, learn first-aid, get involved in a volunteer organisation and to talk to your neighbours.

Drinking water

Tap water in Sweden is safe to drink but in case of a suspected contamination, there may be a recommendation to boil the water. These will be in Swedish.

Emergency preparedness

If you are prepared for emergencies, you can help not only yourself, but also others.
