The UK government is preparing to launch an emergency campaign urging households to stockpile basic supplies such as bottled water and non-perishable food in case of disruptions to essential services.

The advice is not to panic-buy, but rather to gradually build up supplies over time, ensuring at least 2.5 to 3 liters of water per person per day and sufficient medication. The campaign also emphasizes the importance of having a plan for vulnerable relatives and neighbors, particularly in cases of phone network or transport disruptions.
Britons living in Spain are advised to check on their relatives in the UK, ensure they have enough supplies to manage for a few days without essential services, and agree on a contact plan.
