VAR STARK I STORMEN
These days, there’s a lot of talk about preparedness—about getting ready for unforeseen events such as storms that knock trees onto power lines and droughts that cause water shortages and fires.
Your municipality will help all residents, but it may take some time. That's why we all need to have enough food and water at home to last at least a week. The adults in your life will take care of this, but everyone in the family can help!
We use the internet a lot. We chat with each other, send emails, play games, learn new things, find important information, and book tickets. Our dependence on the internet can become a problem if it suddenly stops working. That could affect many aspects of our daily lives.

That means it's a good idea to be prepared to get by without the internet for a while, in case something like that were to happen.
Emergency Information on the Radio
Sveriges Radio P4 är den radiokanal man ska lyssna på om något händer. Varje län i Sverige har en egen P4-kanal som ger sina invånare lokala nyheter. Vid en kris kan information via radio vara en av de viktigaste källorna. Se till att ha en radio som fungerar - gärna batteridriven eller med vev.
Frequency…?
P4 will continue broadcasting even if the internet or your cell phone stops working.
That’s why it’s a good idea to know which P4 station is yours, so you can listen in case something serious happens.
Listen to the radio at home or in the car
There’s often a button or a setting labeled “P4” followed by the name of your region.
For example: P4 Malmöhus, P4 Stockholm, or P4 Gothenburg.
The classic radio that’s been around for a long time. The radio with an antenna, which is also common in cars. The analog radio transmits radio signals as waves through the air. The sound comes through immediately, right now. You turn a dial or press a button to find the right frequency.
Digital radiotransmits sound as data, much like when we send text messages. When the sound fills the room,
the data—the ones and zeros—has been converted
into analog sound waves. The sound comes via the internet (web radio) or is transmitted through digital
radio signals (DAB radio). With digital radio, you can often pause and rewind,
and you can select a specific program.
We listen to digital radio on cell phones, tablets, and computers with an Internet connection, as well as on DAB radios and in newer cars. Digital radio can carry many channels on the same frequency.
