🇪🇺🪖 EU wants its citizens to prep for crises — or war

Bottled water, energy bars, a flashlight and more: the EU is pushing for every household in the 27-country bloc to have a three-day survival kit ready in case crisis strikes — be it a conflict or natural disaster.

EU crisis management commissioner Hadja Lahbib told AFP the idea would be formally presented Wednesday as part of a broader “preparedness strategy” for the bloc.

In practice, Brussels would like every citizen to be equipped for 72 hours of self-sufficiency, said Lahbib, in line with a key report last year on strengthening Europe’s civilian and military preparedness.
