Prepare your household

Home-preparedness categories on Krisinformation.se; one week, with a separate longer prescription recommendation.

How to use the guidance

1. Plan at least a week without electricity, tap water or shopping.
2. Use familiar, energy-rich food needing little cooking/water.
3. Arrange help with neighbours and plan animal care.

Food and water

• At least 3–5 litres of water/person/day, plus pets’ needs; suitable storage containers.
• Grains/ready meals, canned vegetables/fruit, protein foods, fats, energy snacks, shelf-stable drinks and infant food.
• Suitable stove/grill, fuel and matches; outdoor-only equipment stays outdoors.

Warmth, care and hygiene

• Warm layers, hats/gloves, blankets, sleeping mats/bags and suitable heating arrangements.
• A month of prescribed medicines/consumables where appropriate.
• Toilet paper, period/baby supplies, wipes/gel; contingency toilet with bags and absorbent material.

Communication and payment

• Battery/solar/crank radio for P4, paper contacts, power bank and car charger.
• Around SEK1,000/adult in varied notes for a week’s basic purchases; multiple payment methods.
• Pet water, food, medicines, bedding, carrier and first aid.

The checklist covers the scope stated above. Quantities from different countries are not interchangeable: drinking-only, cooking, hygiene and carry-bag allowances differ. Tick marks are temporary and are not sent to us.

Equipment mentioned in official lists still needs appropriate use: outdoor-only combustion equipment stays outside; respiratory filters must match the hazard. Follow current local instructions and the full source documents.
