Should probably be advice given widely at this point.
Be afraid so that we can cut your benefits and you’ll forgive us due to nationalism.
Your benefits have been spent to prop up the largest voting demographic. Here is your courtesy response.
The Commission said in its new EU Preparedness Union Strategy that the bloc was preparing for risks […] including the possibility of armed aggression against EU countries.
EU tells the public to hold a 2nd job, private health insurance, and forget about summer holidays.
That’s just good planning. Natural disasters can easily require more than that in supplies. Buying extra cans and a few gallons of water isn’t expensive.
Finding a gallon of water might be pretty hard in Europe.
I think they mean a 1 or 2 Litre bottle of water, couple bottles of wine and some beer depending on which EU country you are in, wine and beer also count toward calorie count so you need to store less food.
Instead of beer or wine, stock a few bottles of liquor. Vodka, preferably. Whisky works, but not as well. Because you can use it to barter, and as an antiseptic.

Europe is fucked. Always gotta have America do everything! ;p
You mean like fuck the whole world in the ass like it’s happening now?
72 hours isn’t a lot. Many countries strongly suggest having emergency supplies for at least 10 to 14 days.
In fairness, the only thing many people will lack is water. It’s not an exclusive stash, but in addition to what’s in your cupboards.
You can get 10L or 25L quite cheaply. 1 should do per person, maybe with an extra for cooking. Or just grab some big bottles of water.
A hand cranked flashlight, candles and lighter are all a must anyhow, for a power cut. It might also be worth having a cheap camping stove tucked away.
Food wise. It’s just a big bag of pasta or rice, along with some cans/jars to make it pleasant to eat. Throw in some hiking snack bars and you’re sorted.
