UK urges public to stockpile supplies for emergencies

The UK government has launched a 'Be Ready' campaign urging households to stockpile three days of food, water, and cash, and to have a wind-up radio, to prepare for potential emergencies such as extreme weather or cyber attacks. Defence Secretary Wes Streeting advised the public to be 'alert but not alarmed', while some critics have dismissed the guidance as scaremongering.
