The EU Commission wants to propose guidelines to the member states on how the population can provide for itself for 72 hours in the event of an emergency: In extreme crises, the first phase is critical, according to the communication on the new preparedness strategy. The guide is intended to clarify the issue of essential emergency supplies such as food, as well as possible shelters. A new online platform with tailored information for citizens and travelers on dangers and ways to mitigate risks is also planned.
