EU urges citizens to prepare 72-hour crisis supplies in case of war or disaster risk
ai generated text
The European Union has issued a recommendation for every household in Europe to prepare a crisis survival kit, including essential supplies to last for three days. This includes food, water, and other critical items. The goal is to create a culture of preparedness and resilience, particularly in the face of rising global risks and uncertainties.
We must prepare for large-scale, cross-sectoral incidents and crises, including the possibility of armed aggression, affecting one or more member states.
In the case of extreme disruptions, the initial period is the most critical.
We are saying to member states: 72 hours of self-sufficiency is what we recommend.
New realities require a new level of preparedness in Europe.
Our citizens, our Member States, and our businesses need the right tools to act both to prevent crises and to react swiftly when a disaster hits.
It doesn't mean much more than the fact that you want to be prepared and you want to minimise the damage, the costs, the suffering that you might go through.
