Emergency kit: Brussels called on citizens to prepare for disasters and stock up on food. The European Commission published updated recommendations on civil protection. Under the new rules, EU citizens must be prepared to manage without government assistance for the first 72 hours after the onset of any major disaster or crisis. Every home needs a basic emergency kit. It includes shelf-stable foods that do not require cooking, drinking water, a first aid kit with the necessary medications, as well as a battery-operated flashlight and radio. Also, basic emergency behavior skills are planned to be taught from early childhood - in kindergartens and elementary schools.
