UK Launches 'Be Ready' Campaign Urging Three Days of Emergency Supplies
The UK government has launched the 'Be Ready' campaign urging households to stockpile three days' worth of essential supplies, including bottled water, non-perishable food, medicines, and battery-powered radios. This initiative responds to increasing concerns over extreme weather events, such as wildfires and heatwaves, and rising cybersecurity threats that could disrupt essential services. Prime Minister Andy Burnham emphasized preparedness without panic, highlighting new measures like deploying military aircraft to assist in wildfire responses. Similar campaigns exist in other European countries.
