    Be afraid so that we can cut your benefits and you’ll forgive us due to nationalism.

    The Commission said in its new EU Preparedness Union Strategy that the bloc was preparing for risks […] including the possibility of armed aggression against EU countries.

    EU tells the public to hold a 2nd job, private health insurance, and forget about summer holidays.

    72 hours isn’t a lot. Many countries strongly suggest having emergency supplies for at least 10 to 14 days.

    In fairness, the only thing many people will lack is water. It’s not an exclusive stash, but in addition to what’s in your cupboards.

    You can get 10L or 25L quite cheaply. 1 should do per person, maybe with an extra for cooking. Or just grab some big bottles of water.

    A hand cranked flashlight, candles and lighter are all a must anyhow, for a power cut. It might also be worth having a cheap camping stove tucked away.

    Food wise. It’s just a big bag of pasta or rice, along with some cans/jars to make it pleasant to eat. Throw in some hiking snack bars and you’re sorted.

    That’s just good planning. Natural disasters can easily require more than that in supplies. Buying extra cans and a few gallons of water isn’t expensive.
