The UK government has called on citizens to prepare in advance for possible emergencies covering a wide range of threats: from global military conflicts and large-scale cyberattacks to natural disasters. Minister Wes Streeting emphasized three basic items that everyone should keep at home: cash, a sufficient supply of drinking water, and canned food. According to him, such precautions will help survive temporary infrastructure disruptions—power outages, online banking failures, or the aftermath of wildfires and floods. In addition to the basic set, British agencies have previously published recommendations for assembling a 72-hour survival kit, which should include a first aid kit, a set of spare batteries, a flashlight, and a hand-crank radio for receiving emergency alerts.
