Governments and security officials around the world are stepping up calls for households to prepare for emergencies. Former FBI Deputy Chief Dan Bongino has joined them, urging people to take action now. “Get your stuff today. Please. Do it for your family,” Bongino said, recommending supplies such as food, water-filtration equipment, batteries, and emergency radios. The advice echoes preparedness guidance issued by governments across Europe, with recommended periods of household self-sufficiency ranging from 72 hours to a week or more: - UK, France, the Netherlands, Denmark: 3 days - Germany: 3–10 days - Sweden, Norway, Estonia: 1 week - EU: at least 72 hours The aim is to help households cope with power outages, cyberattacks, extreme weather, and other major disruptions. Don’t wait to get prepared. ChainFuse
