Prepare for Imminent War: EU’s 72-Hour Supply Warning
On March 26, 2025, the European Union (EU) advised its 450 million citizens to stockpile sufficient food, water, and essential supplies to last at least 72 hours. This recommendation aims to enhance preparedness for potential crises such as wars, cyberattacks, climate-related disasters, and pandemics.
The EU’s 30-step preparedness strategy includes:
- Establishing an EU crisis hub: A centralized body to coordinate responses across member states.
- Increasing stockpiles of critical equipment: Ensuring availability of necessary resources during emergencies.
- Ensuring continuity of essential services: Maintaining vital functions during crises.
These measures draw inspiration from existing models in Finland, Sweden, and Belgium, emphasizing proactive readiness.
While the EU underscores the importance of preparedness, officials aim to avoid causing public alarm. They recommend that households maintain emergency kits containing items such as food, water, flashlights, identification documents, medications, and shortwave radios.
