UK to Urge Households to Stockpile Three Days of Emergency Supplies

The UK Cabinet Office will ask households to keep three days of tinned food, water, and emergency supplies, the Guardian reported on 25 August 2026. The campaign follows wildfires, an Iran-linked cyber-attack on a power plant, and Russian warnings over UK missile-blueprint sharing with Ukraine. Officials say prepared citizens would let the state focus resources on the most vulnerable during crises.
