Nato Secretary-General Mark Rutte’s warning about a potential Russian attack in Europe by 2030 further underscores the need for heightened vigilance.
"Today’s threats facing Europe are more complex than ever, and they are all interconnected," said Preparedness and Crisis Management Commissioner Hadja Lahbib, while introducing a new EU strategy designed to enhance disaster preparedness and response.
While the commission is keen not to be seen as alarmist, Ms Lahbib said it is important “to make sure people have essential supplies for at least 72 hours in a crisis”.
She listed food, water, flashlights, ID papers, medicine and shortwave radios as items to stock.
I'm surprised that large brown paper bags weren't also listed as I seem to recall that from the Cuba crisis. Otherwise I have the rest at hand including my short wave radio, last used on short wave to get the footy results when I was in the tropics ~1980/81 (Chelsea crackle crackle Notts crackle 2- I had to wait for the later results to fill the gaps).
