The EU urges citizens to prepare 72-hour emergency kits amid fears of wars, cyberattacks, and climate crises.

The European Union (EU) is advising its citizens to prepare 72-hour emergency kits, including food, water, and other essentials, in response to potential crises like wars, cyberattacks, climate change, and diseases. The EU's new Preparedness Union Strategy seeks to boost crisis readiness by enhancing stockpiles of critical resources and improving coordination among member states. The strategy also calls for better civil-military cooperation and the creation of an EU Crisis Hub to better manage threats.
