The document suggests that items people should prepare as part of a "survival kit" include at least six litres of bottled water, 10 cans of food, batteries, a flashlight and medical supplies including paracetamol, compresses and saline solutions.
The French government is reportedly planning to send a "survival manual" to all families living on its territory, containing advice on what to do in the event of an armed conflict, natural disaster or health crisis.
The document consists of about 20 pages and is divided into three parts, according to Europe 1 radio, where the first rule is; protect "yourself and those around you."
The document suggests that items people should prepare as part of a "survival kit" include at least six litres of bottled water, 10 cans of food, batteries, a flashlight and medical supplies including paracetamol, compresses and saline solutions.
The second part describes the actions to be taken in the event of an imminent threat and lists emergency numbers as well as steps to follow depending on the type of crisis. One part recommends closing all doors in the event of a nuclear accident.
The third section details how to "get involved" in community protection, including enrolling in reserve units or firefighting groups.
If accepted by French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou, it will be delivered to all homes by the summer, Europe 1 reported.
"This document aims to ensure the resilience of the population in the face of all types of crises, whether natural, technological, cyber or security-related ," a spokesman for the French prime minister's office told the radio station.
French newspaper Le Figaro said the timing of the manual's publication "could easily suggest that the state is reacting to the volatile international situation."
Previous guidance from the French government issued in 2023 for an "emergency kit" suggested:
At least six liters of bottled water;
Food cans;
Batteries and a flashlight;
Medical supplies, including paracetamol, compresses and saline solution;
A battery-powered radio;
Basic tools;
Warm clothing;
Phone charger;
Cash;
Prescription glasses;
Duplicate keys;
Photocopies of essential documents;
Games to pass the time.
While French media said the manual does not mention Russia or the Ukraine war by name, earlier this month French President Emmanuel Macron warned the nation about the "Russian threat" facing Europe as the US disengages from the continent.
" The Russian threat is here and it is affecting European countries, affecting us too. I want to believe that the US will stand by us, but we must be ready if they do not," Macron said.
This comes after Sweden sent out a new version of a Cold War-era emergency brochure in October last year, advising its citizens what to do in the event of a crisis or war./ Adapted "Pamphlet" from "SkyNews"
