Households across the UK have been urged to keep an “emergency kit” including supplies of cash, bottled water and tinned food at home amid a growing threat of severe weather or war.
Defence secretary Wes Streeting warned households are increasingly likely to be hit by fires, floods, and enemy attacks, including cyber warfare. It comes as the government turns its focus to national resilience in the wake of threats from Russia and severe weather, including back-to-back heatwaves and significant droughts over the summer.
