If the community needs to quickly be informed of an emergency an alarm will go off. This alarm is called the VMA (Viktigt Meddelande till Allmänheten or Important Message to the community) and sometimes Hesa Fredrik (hoarse Fredrik)
The alarm will go off for seven seconds twice with a 14 second pause in between signals. When the danger is over the alarm will sound for 30 seconds straight.
The alarm is tested at 15:00 the first non-bank holiday Monday of March, June, September and December.
When you hear the alarm:
- go inside
- close all doors, windows and any extra ventilation
- put on the tv or listen to the radio, preferably Sveriges television
- do not go outside until you’ve heard the 30 second alarm that signals that.
