Governments in several countries are urging people to prepare emergency supplies at home. France has issued a reminder: “Don't wait for the emergency: prepare now!” Countries including Canada, France, and the United States recommend keeping at least 72 hours of essential supplies
, while Sweden advises a one-week reserve and Germany recommends preparing for up to ten days. These preparations are designed to help households cope with possible disruptions caused by extreme weather, armed conflicts, cyberattacks, or failures in essential infrastructure. Emergency supplies can include drinking water, canned food, long-lasting snacks, medicines, flashlights, batteries, a battery-powered radio, and a manual can opener. Families with babies, older adults, or people with disabilities may need additional essentials. The goal isn't to predict a disaster. It's to be prepared and able to manage until normal services or emergency assistance become available.

The Pentagon's new FORTRESS initiative aims to ensure major U.S. military bases can operate for up to 90 days without outside power, water, fuel or supply chains if war, cyberattacks or disasters disrupt critical infrastructure.
Nexstar's NewsNation reported that the plan is designed to prevent bases from being "starved out, shut down, or cut off" during a crisis. https://www.wavy.com/.../could-you-survive-90-days.../...
