Hans Lindberg (S), Umeå:
How do you react to the statement that we should prepare for war?
"This is not a new issue, we have been working for a long time to make the municipality more robust. We have built up a security department and gone through all the governing documents.
"I understand that people are bouncing over the statement, and so am I. This is a new situation that no one has experienced in modern times.
What do you do now as a councillor?
"We're going to grow and have more exercises. This morning, I made sure that everyone in the municipal executive board's working committee should receive a special presentation on the level of preparedness in the municipality.
"It is the municipality's responsibility to ensure that all operations function in the event of war, we plan for that.
What is your call to action?
"Make sure you can manage if we run out of power and water, or if you can't buy food. Look over your home. It may not be such a bad idea to buffer some dry products and fill water cans.
Lorents Burman (S), Skellefteå:
How do you react?
"I don't react with concern. It is not as if any situation has arisen this weekend. The choice of words and headlines in recent days are very harsh and frightening. We are well aware of the situation that prevails in Europe today.
What do you do now as a councillor?
"We are strengthening the security systems we have in place in times of crisis, and we have been doing this for a long time. Cyberattacks, energy, water and sanitation, and logistics systems need to work.
What is your call to action?
"You shouldn't have to worry about it. On the other hand, you should think about how prepared you are in everyday life if a situation of any kind arises.
Lennart Gustavsson (V), Malå:
How do you react?
"We need to change and improve our preparedness. For example, we were left without diesel in Malå on Friday after the cold. It shows that society can be fragile. My fear is not primarily war, but we must increase our preparedness.
What do you do now as a councillor?
"We are building up civil preparedness. Staff are trained and we carry out a review where we see that we have backup power. We provide information to residents and review our sensitive activities such as care and schools.
What is your call to action?
– Take care of each other. Whatever happens, we must not forget interpersonal interaction.
Madelaine Jakobsson (C), Nordmaling:
How do you react?
"It's not a completely new idea. We have met with the county's armed forces and are working on how our preparedness will work. It is good to say straight out how it is. We do not have the experience in Sweden to be prepared for a war situation. People might be taking it more seriously now.
What do you do now as a councillor?
"We are working on our preparedness in the same way as we are doing now. We're putting more effort into it, and we've been doing that for some time now.
What is your call to action?
"We will all need to help each other in order for there to be preparedness. We saw this not least when we got the extreme cold last week.
Kjell Öjeryd (V), Sorsele:
How do you react?
"That sounds serious. From my position, I wonder what our role is? In order to increase preparedness, municipalities need more money, especially the small ones. We are having a tough time as it is with our budgets.
What do you do now as a councillor?
"We do a lot of reasoning in the municipality. We have had a cold period that we have seen the consequences of. We need to make sure that things work in the event of longer power outages, for example.
What is your call to action?
"We're not going to rush. The war will not come immediately. I would urge people to try to review their own preparedness.
