SWEDEN · LEVEL A · READY

Sweden

Household preparedness benchmark: at least 1 week.

Evidence classification: all-hazards household + national infrastructure evidence.

Dedicated household space-weather guidance: Partial. Sweden has national severe-space-weather risk evidence, while household preparedness doctrine is general self-preparedness guidance.

What Sweden actually establishes

MSB household guidance establishes preparedness for at least one week. National risk work separately treats severe space-weather disruption and infrastructure loss as credible. A precise household space-weather pre-impact sequence is not separately published.

Three clocks

WARNING / MITIGATION

Official warnings and national risk planning exist, but a household space-weather sequence is not separately published.

HOUSEHOLD AUTONOMY

At least one week is explicit.

INFRASTRUCTURE RECOVERY

Recovery may continue beyond one week. That does not create a one-month general household stockpile target.

Household preparedness

Official guidance includes 3–5 L of water per adult per day for drinking, cooking and basic hygiene, food for at least one week, about one month of prescription medication where applicable, cash for about one week of household shopping if possible, multiple payment methods, off-grid radio access, lighting, charging, warmth, sanitation, paper contacts and shared preparedness with neighbors.

Infrastructure dependencies

Sweden’s national risk work supports severe societal disruption and infrastructure-loss analysis. Infrastructure evidence supports system claims and does not automatically create additional household requirements.

Evidence limitations

  • The household benchmark is all-hazards doctrine, not a dedicated space-weather household timetable.
  • The 3–5 L water rule is stated for adults; a child-specific national quantity is not established by the cited source.
  • Time sequencing beyond directly stated actions must be labeled SFI-derived.
