Emergency plan has been published! Critical call to millions of people: 'Be prepared for the first 72 hours'

In the statement made by the European Union Commission, it was stated that Europe is faced with "complex crises more frequently", and therefore concrete measures have been implemented to make the continent "more resilient".

EMERGENCY GUIDE WAS ANNOUNCED

In the statement, it was stated that Hadja Lahbib, EU Commission Member Responsible for Equality, Preparedness and Crisis Management, announced the new guide for citizens to be prepared for emergencies at the 9th European Civil Protection Forum held in Brussels.

PREPARATION CALL FOR THE FIRST 72 HOURS

In the new guide, it is recommended that citizens work to meet their basic needs within the first 3 days, that is, 72 hours, until public aid is activated.

In addition, it is envisaged to include the subject of emergency preparedness in the pre-school and primary school curricula, to provide information to educators, and to create more inclusive preparedness measures that include disabled individuals.

The instructions also include ensuring that authorities provide reliable information to citizens before, during and after an emergency.

It is also proposed to establish an "EU Preparedness Day" on 23 October every year, starting from 2027, in order to make preparedness for emergencies a common priority across Europe.
