Authorities in Normandy, France, and Denmark are emphasizing the importance of household self-sufficiency during crises. In Normandy, officials have urged residents to prepare 72-hour emergency kits containing essentials such as water, food, and medicine to manage potential disruptions to electricity, water, or communication networks caused by severe weather.

Similarly, Danish authorities are encouraging citizens to maintain a 72-hour supply of food, water, and medicine to mitigate risks from infrastructure failures, power outages, or cyberattacks. While regional health authorities in North Jutland report that emergency services are prepared to function during disruptions, officials noted that only about one-third of the Danish population currently holds the recommended emergency supplies.
