The British government issued an appeal on Thursday asking citizens to build up emergency supplies in case of a crisis, Wiadomości Onet reports. The advice covers basic items including food, cash and a radio receiver.
According to the outlet, the recommendation is framed around readiness for an unspecified emergency situation rather than any single named event.
The call was carried by several Polish news outlets, with WP Wiadomości describing the guidance as covering a three-day stock of supplies. Other reports, including Defence24, placed the appeal alongside remarks by the head of the British army about national preparations for war and the expectation that citizens would take part in defending the country.
Wiadomości Onet's account does not specify what prompted the timing of the announcement, and no further details on the scope of the recommended supplies were given in the reporting summarized here.
Households following the guidance would be assembling a small reserve of essentials — food, ready cash and a battery-powered or otherwise independent radio — intended to carry them through a disruption. The emphasis on a radio suggests planning for scenarios in which power or communications links may be affected.
The appeal comes as European governments more broadly have been revisiting civil-defence messaging, though the reporting summarized here does not draw that comparison directly.
What to watch next: whether British officials publish fuller guidance detailing how many days of supplies are advised and which emergencies the plan is meant to address.
