Europe calls for food stockpiling against possibility of war

The European Union is urging citizens to prepare for various crises, including possible military conflicts. The new security strategy developed by the European Commission aims to prepare citizens for emergencies. According to CNN, the document recommends creating a 72-hour survival kit consisting of water, medicine, matches, flashlights, chargers and non-perishable food.

Europe is strengthening security measures

The 17-page document contains 30 specific EU security measures. This strategy will allow European countries to effectively manage various threats. The measures include not only military conflicts, but also natural disasters and financial crises.

According to the EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management, Hajja Lahbib, the war between Russia and Ukraine, the pandemic and other threats are forcing Europe to be constantly vigilant.

New coordination center to be created

The European Union plans to create a special coordination center for rapid response during crises. This center will be responsible for strengthening cooperation between member states and responding quickly to emergencies.

In addition, it is planned to increase the reserves of medicines, raw materials and energy resources. This will ensure that European countries have a strategic reserve in case of emergencies.

European countries unite in emergencies

Currently, the level of preparedness for emergencies in Europe varies from country to country. For example, Spain has stepped up security measures after the 2024 floods, while the Baltic states are working to strengthen cybersecurity. The new strategy aims to bridge these gaps, aiming to create common standards and a single backup system across the EU.

Although the document does not envisage new defense initiatives, it builds on the Nordic model. This approach involves a common society, involving citizens, businesses, the military and governments.

Is Europe prepared for major conflicts?

The European Union is currently stepping up its preparedness not only against military threats, but also against economic and environmental risks. These measures are being introduced to prevent shortages of food, medicine and energy resources.

Citizens’ precautionary measures and governments’ development of long-term strategies are essential for Europe’s security. Europe's leaders plan to fight the risks through solidarity and far-sighted policies in the current situation.
