Security and safety

Swedish preparedness is based on everyone taking joint responsibility for the safety of our country and for our own and our loved ones' safety. This responsibility includes an obligation to be prepared to handle a difficult situation and to meet any immediate needs that may arise. For those in charge of a group, it may be useful to locate fire exits, possible assembly points and find a good reporting system to ensure that everyone is safe if something happens.

Own preparedness and responsibility

Swedish preparedness is based on everyone taking joint responsibility for the safety of our country and for our own and our loved ones' safety. Personal responsibility includes an obligation to be prepared to handle a difficult situation and cope with the immediate needs that may arise. Find out more about how you can prepare.

Crisis preparedness

When it comes to crisis preparedness, the principle of responsibility is a basic prerequisite, i.e. whoever is responsible for an activity on a day-to-day basis is also responsible in the event of a crisis; Crisis management basics - Krisinformation.se External link.

Advice in case of attacks with lethal violence

If there are terrorist attacks and other armed violence in your vicinity, there is some advice you need to follow and we lean towards:

Escape - Get yourself to safety. Leave the scene as quickly and safely as possible and avoid crowds. Seek shelter. If you cannot leave the area, seek out a place that you deem safe and that will provide you with shelter. Pay attention to what you see and hear and try to stay calm.

Put your cell phone on silent and turn off the vibration. Do not call anyone who may be in the danger area. The mobile signal may reveal a person hiding.

Alert - Alert the police via 112. The police need to know: the location, what has happened, how many perpetrators you have seen, what weapons they used, what they look like and where you last saw them. Warn those in danger and help those in need.

Also remember:

  • Don't use your cell phone unless you have to. If the network is overloaded, it can be difficult for vital calls to get through.
  • Follow the instructions of the police, emergency services and other authorities.
  • Do not share unconfirmed information online or in any other way.
  • When police arrive on the scene, it may be difficult for them to immediately determine who is the perpetrator and who is the victim - so do not hold anything in your hands.
  • Be prepared for further attacks to occur.
  • Get into the habit of noting emergency exits.
  • If you see anything that causes concern, such as weapons or what you suspect may be explosives, contact the police.

Shelters

There are more than 65 000 shelters in Sweden, which are designed to provide the population with physical protection in times of war. You can find your nearest shelter on the shelter map. You do not belong to a particular shelter, but use the one closest to you. On this page you can see how shelters are distributed in Sweden. All shelters and buildings with shelters must be marked with a sign that has an orange square with a blue triangle and the text SKYDDSRUM.

Systematic fire protection work

All buildings on the Campus area are covered by systematic fire protection and are reviewed at regular intervals. Owners and occupants are responsible for fire protection and they must ensure that there is adequate fire protection and, as part of this, carry out systematic fire protection work. If you are responsible for a group, it may be appropriate to review fire exits, any assembly points and find a good arrangement for reporting so that you know that everyone has reached safety if something happens.
