British government appeals: Make emergency supplies for 72 hours

The UK government has launched the "Be Ready" campaign, urging citizens to prepare emergency supplies for 72 hours. Recommended items include water, food, cash, flashlights, and radios. Defense Minister Wes Streeting emphasized the need for readiness against advanced cyberattacks and potential disruptions in supply chains. The campaign aims to address concerns over climate change, technological dependence, and threats from hostile nations. Citizens are advised to check existing supplies, plan household needs, gradually build their stock, and engage with their communities. Similar recommendations have been made by governments in France, the Netherlands, and Ireland.
