letter to the Swedish municipalities for war

[mapuc]

The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) has sent a letter to every municipalities in Sweden and said they should make preparation for war.

Some part from the letter(used google translate)

"Following the security policy developments at Sweden's doorstep, planning for increased preparedness (civil defense) are to be resumed from the State Provincial boards and some central government agencies

Municipalities' ability to maintain their operations during disturbed conditions and, ultimately, in connection with the threat of war and war is of fundamental importance for Sweden's overall ability to withstand external threats.

For municipalities and county councils measures before and during extraordinary events in peacetime and increased readiness therefore provides that the municipality will take the necessary preparations for operations during heightened preparedness

State's expectations for local government preparations for operations during increased readiness will increase and need concrete. Under the current agreement, the municipalities must take steps to ensure that emergency management within the municipality basic knowledge of municipal information at increased readiness and maintain facilities for outdoor warning.

Planning for heightened preparedness will set high standards for all players respect including the ability to operational tempo, decision "

My note on this

An authority or a government wouldn't send such a letter to the Swedish municipalities for fun.

Second, they have ordered the municipalities to reopen some areas that have been closed after the cold was over.

(a note to some moderator-could you erase the word prepare after municipalities, thank you)
