The UK government’s new website, “Be Ready,” launched yesterday Thursday, urged British households to store three liters of bottled water per person per day for drinking, along with non-perishable food items such as canned meat, dried fruits, and nuts.
Meanwhile, UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting stated that citizens should treat national preparedness and crisis resilience with the same seriousness as national defense.
He asked: Are we prepared for increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks targeting our companies? Are we ready for the possibility that disruptions to essential supply chains caused by hostile states or terrorist groups? How would we cope if payment systems at the local grocery store went down? These are examples of everyday challenges we may face, and it is right that we prepare for them, according to The Telegraph.
