Inspired by the question We will never surrender! Why would a country have this policy?
From the question text, Sweden recently issued a pamphlet to citizens regarding what would be done if war or a crisis happens.
To me this pamphlet seems unnecessary, seeing as Sweden is generally a very safe country. My question is, why did the Swedish government issue this pamphlet?

As is noted in a comment on that question the pamphlet is an updated version of "If the war comes", a similar pamphlet that was released up until 1991. It was at that point deemed outdated. So the real question here is why they decided to update and release it again.
MSB (The department of societal protection and preparation) has a statement about this (in swedish):
Vi lever i en tid där följderna av extremt väder, IT-attacker, terrordåd kan påverka att samhällsservicen inte längre fungerar. Regeringen, som gett MSB uppdraget, menar att informationen också är viktig sett till att den säkerhetspolitiska situationen i omvärlden har försämrats.
Translation by me
We live in a time where the consequences of extreme weather, IT-attacks, and terror can contribute to public services shutting down. The administration, which has given MSB the mission [to release this pamphlet], deems the information important also due the worsening of security in nearby countries.
So basically the current administration thinks that global warming and external threats, see Russian saber rattling, has created a situation where the population of Sweden needs to, once again, be prepared to fend for themselves in the short term.
It should perhaps be noted that the old pamphlet only talked about what to do in case of a war while this one also informs about more modern threats like hacks, natural disasters, and fake news.
