Which countries send a crisis booklet to every household?

Short answer. Of 62 countries compared, six have an official source confirming a printed crisis booklet mailed to every household: Poland (about 17 million copies from December 2025) ¹¹¹, Czech Republic (5.2 million, November 2025) ³⁵, Sweden (over 5 million, November 2024) ¹³⁵, Netherlands (by 10 January 2026) ⁹⁸, Norway (autumn 2024) ¹⁰³ and Estonia (566,000+ homes, 2024) ⁴⁰. Hungary: no official guidance published ⁵⁴.

How do the 62 countries compare?

Each row gives the country's main official household preparedness publication, its year or edition, and what the official sources say about distribution. "Not stated" means the sources read do not say whether the publication was mailed; it does not mean it was not. "Unconfirmed" marks a point the sources could not establish.

Which countries mailed a booklet to every household?

Six countries have an official source confirming it. Sweden's Om krisen eller kriget kommer is the fifth edition sent to the public, after 1943, 1952, 1961 and 2018; more than 5 million copies went out between 18 and 29 November 2024 ¹³⁵. Norway's DSB mailed its brochure to every household in autumn 2024; a survey published in December 2024 found 64% had read all or part of it ¹⁰³. Estonia's Rescue Board reached more than 566,000 homes in 2024 ⁴⁰.

The Czech Interior Ministry announced on 27 October 2025 the delivery of 5.2 million copies of Příručka 72 hodin in waves through November ³⁵; residents of the Dukovany and Temelín zones also receive a separate radiation-accident handbook approved by SÚJB ³⁴. The Netherlands sent its Informatieboekje to all households, to arrive by 10 January 2026 ⁹⁸. Poland's Poradnik bezpieczeństwa has been posted by Poczta Polska since 22 December 2025, about 17 million copies ¹¹¹.

Ireland's Be Emergency Ready is available by post from the Office of Emergency Planning, as well as online, as audio and in Braille on demand ⁷⁰; the sources do not describe a mailing to every home.

Which mailings are announced or reported but unconfirmed?

Malta: a press report says the Home Affairs Minister announced on 13 April 2026 that every household would receive an emergency manual and a fire blanket ⁹³. The title, official download and distribution are unconfirmed. Taiwan: the press reports household distribution of the 2025 National Public Safety Guide; the official guide pages read do not confirm it ¹⁴¹¹⁴². Qatar's alert guidelines and Thailand's survival-bag checklist are also unconfirmed ¹¹³¹⁴³, and the official text of the Philippines' family preparedness module could not be read.

Which countries publish a national booklet without a documented mailing?

Most countries in this comparison publish a national guide with no official statement on how it reaches homes: the United States ¹⁵³, Canada ²², Switzerland ¹³⁸, Germany ⁴⁸, France ⁴⁵, Israel ⁷², Denmark ³⁶, Lithuania ⁸⁸, Japan ⁷⁸, South Korea ¹²⁸, Latvia ⁸⁵, Belgium ¹⁴, Italy ⁷⁵, Romania ¹¹⁷, Slovakia ¹²², Ukraine ¹⁴⁶, Singapore ¹²⁰, Croatia ³⁰, Cyprus ³¹, Georgia ⁴⁶, Greece ⁵⁰, Moldova ⁹⁶, Serbia ¹¹⁸, Indonesia ⁶⁷, the United Arab Emirates ¹⁴⁷, Chile ²³, Costa Rica ²⁸, Mexico ⁹⁴ and Peru ¹⁰⁶. Several Latin American guides are built around a family emergency plan rather than a supply list ^232894106. For what to store and how to plan, see the 72-hour kit guide, the family plan guide and the two-week supplies guide.

Which countries rely on websites, checklists or campaigns instead?

Finland published its guide on Suomi.fi in November 2024 and explained its choice of a website over a paper copy for every home ⁴¹⁴². The United Kingdom relies on GOV.UK/Prepare and a printable household plan, with a national campaign announced in the 2026 implementation report ¹⁴⁹¹⁵⁰. Australia ⁷ and New Zealand ¹⁰⁰ offer printable kit lists and factsheets. Iceland points to the Red Cross 3 dagar programme ⁵⁶. Turkey runs the Afete Hazır Türkiye campaign ¹⁴⁵, Kazakhstan the 60 seconds of safety series ⁷⁹, Malaysia social-media infographics ⁹¹, and India hazard-by-hazard Do's and Don'ts ⁶⁰. Argentina ², Brazil ¹⁷, Bulgaria ¹⁸, Kuwait ⁸² and Slovenia ¹²⁴ publish checklists, leaflets or web pages rather than one current national booklet.

Which publications cover one hazard or one region?

Some official booklets are limited to a single hazard or area. Portugal's national booklet covers earthquakes ¹¹², as does Colombia's Guía de preparativos ante sismo ²⁶. Luxembourg's nuclear-alert brochure dates from 2014 ⁹⁰. South Africa's Koeberg calendar serves residents around the nuclear plant ¹²⁷, and Argentina's ARN leaflets address people near nuclear plants ³⁵. In Spain, the complete household guide is Catalonia's, not a national one ¹³⁰. See also the nuclear plant zones guide.

Which country has no official guidance at all?

No official guidance published: Hungary has no national preparedness booklet or household campaign; its disaster agency publishes online behaviour guides by hazard type and focuses public preparedness on children and young people ⁵⁴⁵²⁵³.
