What households are asked to do

Prepare an emergency kit with food, water and essentials to manage independently for at least three days. Plan for the whole household rather than buying an identical kit for everyone.

PRACTICAL CHECKLIST

Prepare your household

Home reserve plus evacuation bag, including the source’s child and pet additions.

Source dates

No publication/update date stated on the selected page.

Editorially checked: 10 November 2026. A recent review does not make an older document a new warning.

How to use the guidance

  1. Plan for at least 72 hours; keep home reserves separate from what you can physically carry.
  2. Rotate dry-stored supplies and avoid locations vulnerable to flooding.
  3. Make an emergency plan and share resources with neighbours.

Home supplies

Evacuation bag

The checklist covers the scope stated above. Quantities from different countries are not interchangeable: drinking-only, cooking, hygiene and carry-bag allowances differ. Tick marks are temporary and are not sent to us.

Equipment mentioned in official lists still needs appropriate use: outdoor-only combustion equipment stays outside; respiratory filters must match the hazard. Follow current local instructions and the full source documents.

Original sources & reuse

02 / ATTRIBUTED CONTEXT

War, disruption & other explanations

The National Crisis Centre links its 72-hour advice to the wider European approach. The recommendation describes preparedness rather than an incident-specific alert.

Editorial assessment

A preparedness checklist establishes what people are encouraged to do. It does not, by itself, establish the probability, cause or date of a future crisis. No additional independently sourced theory has been added to this profile.

03 / SOURCE WATCH
