KrisKompass helps households understand and improve their preparedness before everyday services are disrupted. Describe your household, the resources you have available and the practical options around you. KrisKompass turns that information into structured overviews that support reflection, planning and informed decisions. Explore key areas of household preparedness: • Water • Food • Heat and energy • Hygiene • Medicine • Information • Social support • Evacuation and movement Short interactive scenarios let you practise making decisions as conditions change. There are no predetermined “correct” answers. The purpose is to help you recognise trade-offs, uncertainty and the point at which a plan may need to change. KrisKompass does not replace official information, emergency services or professional medical advice. Always follow instructions from the relevant authorities during an emergency. No account is required. The preparedness information you enter is stored locally on your device. Photo access is optional and is used only if you choose an image as a personal map. The app can be used in Swedish or English.
