Civil defence shelter

You are not designated a specific civil defence shelter – evacuate to the nearest one. At mcf.se, you’ll find a map pinpointing all shelters in Sweden.

A shelter should have water and basic toilet facilities. If you have time, bring something to eat, warm clothes and toiletries. Be prepared to stay in the shelter for a few days.

During peace time, shelters may be used for other activities. However, they are required to be reset and available within 48 hours should the need arise. During a heightened state of alert, the property owner is obligated to ensure that the shelter is properly prepared.

Shelters are marked with a sign – a blue triangle inside an orange rectangle. This symbol means the premises are protected under the laws of war.

Locate shelters or other protective structures close to your home, school and workplace.
