The plan does not address shelters, but requires a robust total defence with broad capability to meet various crises and public services to function throughout the country, not just where the need happens to be assessed as greatest. Planning shelter needs early in the planning process with clear state direction also follows from the plan's requirement for genuine democratic anchorage in urban planning.

The election manifesto asserts that work to strengthen civil defence and emergency preparedness must continue, and the party programme demands strong infrastructure for strengthened preparedness. The counter-proposal's demands for more shelters in more parts of the country, early planning in the planning process and clear state governance follow from these commitments, together with the plan's line on greater state responsibility for equivalent conditions throughout Sweden.

The plan requires a strengthened civil defence and increased appropriations for crisis preparedness so that society can handle various types of threats. It also establishes that risk considerations should be a self-evident and integrated part of societal planning and that the division of responsibility between state, municipalities and other actors should be clarified. The counter-proposal's requirement for more shelters in more parts of the country, early planning before the building permit phase and clear state direction thus aligns with the plan.

The plan is explicit that civil defence and society's preparedness for war and crisis shall be armed, and that public service shall be close and reliable throughout the country. The counter-proposal's requirements for more shelters in more parts of the country and for early planning of shelter needs follow from these commitments. The plan moreover requires that government agencies cooperate when land is taken into use, which speaks for clear guidelines and frequent contact between municipalities and agencies.

The plan requires that civil defence is strengthened in pace with military defence and that total defence is greatly strengthened, which speaks for more shelter rooms in more parts of the country. The plan also states that spatial planning is needed to manage future risks and that state service shall be secured across the entire country, which supports that shelter room needs are considered early in the planning process with clear state direction.

The plan requires that the entire total defence has sufficient resources to guarantee the population good protection, and that societal planning be directed at promoting security. It also establishes that affected residents shall be involved early in the planning process. The counter-proposal's requirement for more shelters in more parts of the country and for shelter needs to be planned early, with clear state governance, follows from these commitments.

The plan establishes that functioning civil defence is a prerequisite for the military defence to be able to solve its tasks and requires long-term state planning for civil defence. The counter-proposal's requirement for more shelters in more parts of the country and early planning with clear state direction follows from that commitment. The plan also promises that all Sweden shall function, not just the most densely populated parts.

The plan also emphasizes that civil defense is the prerequisite for military defense.
