If crisis or war strikes – new brochure on preparedness for businesses 

The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MCF), formerly MSB, has produced a brochure entitled Preparedness for businesses – if crisis or war strikes. It is now being sent out to 130,000 businesses and organisations with more than five employees. 

The brochure is one of three key documents that set the direction for the entire society's preparedness: the yellow brochureIf crisis or war comes,to citizens, the blue one to businesses – and the documentStarting points for total defense, which together clarify what needs to be achieved in the event of crisis and war. 

The brochure provides concrete advice on how companies can strengthen their preparedness in the event of crises and, ultimately, war – thereby contributing to society's overall resilience. In a deteriorating security situation, Swedish companies, not least in the tech industry, have a central role to play in maintaining operations, deliveries, and functions that are vital to society. 

"IT, telecom, and tech companies are a key part of society and play a central role when the need for preparedness, resilience, and delivery capacity increases," says Åsa Zetterberg, CEO of TechSverige.  

Companies can find further guidance and support for their preparedness work onthe MCF website, andTechSweden's employer guide contains comprehensive information on how employers can work with preparedness.
