Sweden has begun to advise their citizens how to prepare for war. This came across my Facebook Feed, so I did a little digging. I found articles from 2016 and 2018. One set stated that the info WAS sent ... the other set of articles stated that the info WILL BE sent. So ... not sure if these May '18 articles are just recirculated from earlier in the year or if it means Jan was planning and May is the actual mailing. Either way, Sweden is concerned & advising their citizens. This is what I found:

The defence budget has been allocated additional money and proposals to reintroduce conscription have been considered
These are about Sweden getting ready to send out info to their citizens:

Sweden sends leaflets to 5m homes on how to prepare for war with Russia
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/01/17/sweden-tells-public-prepare-war-fears-russia-rise/
Sweden is preparing to issue a public information manual on what to do in the event of war, as debate in the country grows over how to deal with the threat from Russia.
The brochure, due to be sent to 4.7m households, will inform the public how they can take part in “total defence” during a war and secure water, food and heating.

Sweden Advises Its Citizens to Prepare Wet Wipes and Tinned Hummus in the Event of War
http://time.com/5286505/sweden-war-preparation-pamphlet/
Sweden has not gone to war with another country for over two centuries, but that hasn’t stopped the government from reissuing an emergency manual from World War II that advises citizens on how best to cope with hypothetical hostilities.
The newly updated 20-page pamphlet, entitled Om krisen eller kriget kommer (‘If crisis or war comes”), offers strategies for handling everything from cyber attacks and terrorism to climate change, food shortages and fake news.
These are about Sweden actually sending out he info now:

Sweden distributes ‘be prepared for war’ leaflet to all 4.8m homes
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...war-cyber-terror-attack-leaflet-to-every-home

Sweden Prepares For War With Russia – Citizens Told To Stockpile Emergency Supplies
https://yournewswire.com/sweden-war-russia-stockpile-supplies/
“Sweden has issued a public information manual urging citizens to prepare for an ‘imminent’ war with Russia, and stock up on essential food supplies.
The brochure has been sent to 4.7 million households, informing the public how they can defend the country during war and secure water, food and heating.” …
Here is a link to the pamphlet in English: https://www.dinsakerhet.se/siteasse.../om-krisen-eller-kriget-kommer---engelska.pdf
I checked the publishing date on the pamphlet and it is May 2108. Someone on a facebook page I belong to, whom is from Sweden said that the articles are true and that the citizens are to be receiving the info within the next month.
