Japan, UK and EU Urge Households to Keep Emergency Supplies
Officials say households should store food, water and medicines for 72 hours to 10 days as disruptions from storms, cyberattacks and conflict grow.
- On November 2, Japan's disaster minister Goshi Hosono will issue a nationwide preparedness appeal urging households to stockpile food and water for at least three days, preferably one week, coinciding with the launch of Japan's new Disaster Management Agency.
- The United Kingdom launched its 'Be Ready' campaign on October 22, urging households to prepare for three days of potential disruptions to electricity, water, mobile communications, and internet services as part of a multi-year resilience initiative.
- While the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency advises three days of supplies, Germany recommends households maintain up to 10 days of non-perishable food and water; Sweden and Norway suggest about one week.
- Despite online speculation about a supposed 'doomsday,' officials emphasize there is no verified evidence linking these campaigns to a specific global catastrophe; the European Union's Preparedness Union Strategy addresses diverse risks including cyberattacks and natural disasters.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently unveiled the FORTRESS initiative, requiring U.S. military bases to operate independently for up to 90 days if supply chains fail, dubbing it the 'nation's insurance policy' to ensure operational continuity.
