EU Urges Citizens to Stockpile Essentials for 72 Hours Amid Crisis Preparedness
The European Union has issued a directive encouraging its citizens to stockpile food, water, and other essential supplies to last for at least 72 hours, as part of its broader strategy to enhance crisis preparedness. This recommendation comes in the wake of increasing concerns about potential disruptions due to natural disasters, pandemics, and geopolitical tensions. EU Commissioner for International Partnerships, Hadja Lahbib, emphasized the importance of individual readiness in the face of unforeseen emergencies.
Member states have been instructed to ensure that their populations are aware of the need to maintain a minimum stock of essential supplies. The initiative has been met with mixed responses across Europe, with some praising the proactive approach to emergency planning, while others express concerns over the feasibility and potential panic it might cause among the public.
This move is part of a larger effort by the EU to strengthen its resilience against a range of crises, including but not limited to, natural disasters, health emergencies, and potential conflicts. The EU Commission has urged all member states to review and bolster their national emergency plans to align with these new guidelines.
