Myndigheten för civilt försvar

Myndigheten för civilt försvar is a Swedish public authority that works to strengthen society’s ability to prevent and manage accidents, crises and the consequences of war. Its website provides information about the authority’s activities and practical support for organisations and individuals involved in civil preparedness and emergency management.

The authority publishes guidance, reports, regulations, educational resources and tools covering areas such as crisis and wartime preparedness, civil defence, cybersecurity, risk assessment, public protection, rescue services, fire safety and the transport of dangerous goods. It also supports training and exercises, coordination between public and private organisations, and preparedness planning for businesses, municipalities, regions and government agencies.

The authority operates and collaborates on several information websites. Krisinformation.se shares official information with the public before, during and after major incidents and crises, while Lilla Krisinfo provides crisis information for children and young people. Tjugofyra7 reports on developments within the authority’s areas of responsibility and encourages discussion.
