SPECIAL · PREPAREDNESS

A suspected cyberattack spoiled supermarket freezers in at least eight European countries on Monday. Governments ask households for 72 hours of supplies; here is what a month takes, with shopping lists for two cities.

ABOUT 22 MINUTES

Overnight on Nov. 2, from about 01:00 UTC, the fridges and freezers of supermarkets in at least eight European countries, from Sweden and Estonia to Ireland, Italy and Portugal, were switched to defrost or turned up, some to 50C (122F), in what retailers and suppliers called a cyberattack. ^[1][2][3] Belgium was hit hardest: Le Soir counted some 75 stores there, about 40 of them Delhaize shops, and Belgian federal prosecutors opened an investigation. ^[4] In Ireland, Musgrave said 13 SuperValu stores were affected; across the region, stores threw food away. Danfoss, the Danish firm whose temperature controls were used in at least some of the units, said it was working with customers on fixes. ^[1] No one has claimed responsibility, ^[1][3] and Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre said no incidents had been reported in the UK. ^[2] EU agriculture commissioner Christophe Hansen called the attacks “a deliberate attempt to disrupt our food supply chain and undermine consumers’ confidence in it.” ^[1] It was the second wave in three weeks, after the cold aisles of some 700 French supermarkets failed on the night of Oct. 11–12. ^[5][6] Shops restock within days. A longer crisis is another matter, and it is the one governments are now asking families to think about.

In the past two years, government after government has told its people the same thing: keep water, food, a radio, cash and medicines at home, and expect help to take time. Sweden mailed a booklet to every household in November 2024 ^[7]. Poland reportedly mailed one to some 16 million homes ^[8]. France, Germany, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Luxembourg and the Baltic states have issued their own guides, and the European Union has set a common floor of 72 hours [9]. Britain launched its campaign on Oct. 22 ^[10]. On Nov. 2, Japan opened a new Disaster Management Agency and used its first day to ask households to stock at least three days of water and food, and a week if possible ^[11]. Any one of these could be read as routine. Together they are a signal no family can afford to ignore.

Do not expect governments to say exactly what they are preparing for. Their leaflets name storms, floods and blackouts. Their planning goes further, and part of it stays secret: Britain’s public risk register is, in its own words, “the external version” of a classified assessment ^[12]. Vagueness is part of the defense. A leaflet that names no threat gives nothing away to an adversary and frightens no one, and it still asks every household to be ready.

Advice like this has come before, and the dates are telling. Sweden mailed a preparedness booklet to every household in 1952 and again in 1961, then not again until 2018 ^[13]. In December 1961, the U.S. Defense Department issued “Fallout Protection,” a booklet telling families how to stock a shelter ^[14]. During Covid, the message ran the other way: in March 2020, British ministers and the chief medical adviser told the public there was “no need” to stockpile ^[15]. By our count, not since 1961 have so many governments, in so many countries at once, asked households to prepare to fend for themselves.

The first test came quickly. Within hours of Britain’s launch, Storm Austen cut power to 6,980 properties in Cornwall, 2,241 of them on the register of customers who need priority help, such as people who rely on powered medical equipment ^[16][17]. Most were reconnected within days; National Grid’s storm page reportedly listed all Austen customers as restored by Oct. 26 ^[18]. That is what three days of supplies is for. The registers describe longer outages, and no one can say which crisis comes next. In our judgment, this is likely not a drill. The time to prepare is now, calmly and in steps.

The numbers tell a second story. Most governments ask for 72 hours. A few ask for a week. Germany asks for 10 days. No government we reviewed asks households to plan for 30 days. Yet the same governments publish risk registers in which a national blackout takes up to a week to fix in full, critical services take months and a severe solar storm lasts one to two weeks ^[12]. The gap between the ask and the risk is the subject of this special.

This piece sets out who asked what and when, what the official scenarios say, why the advice stays vague and what a month of supplies would take for a family of two adults and two children. It ends with two shopping lists, one for New Jersey and one for an apartment in west Istanbul. Our 30-day plan goes beyond every official recommendation we found. It is a deeper buffer, not a government requirement.

WHO ASKED WHAT, AND WHEN

The current wave began in the Nordic countries, which never fully dropped their old civil-defense habits, and spread across Europe after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In March 2025, the European Commission’s Preparedness Union Strategy reportedly committed to guidelines for “population self-sufficiency of at least 72 hours” [9]. European Commission Executive Vice President Roxana Mînzatu reportedly summed it up as “fix your roof while the sun is still shining” [9].

Britain’s campaign is the newest in Europe and the most detailed. It asks for 3 liters of drinking water per person per day, a flashlight rather than candles, a battery or wind-up FM radio, a charged power bank, cash, printed documents and ready-to-feed formula for babies ^[10][19]. It tells people to order repeat prescriptions up to five working days before they need them and to check the kit every six months ^[19]. “Those who can follow this advice should follow this advice,” Security Minister Dan Jarvis said ^[10]. The government says more than 500 organizations have signed up to spread the message ^[10]. Japan’s request, signed by Disaster Management Minister Goshi Hosono, was blunter. In a disaster on a national scale, “there are limits to what the government alone can do,” it said (our translation) ^[11].

France framed its guide as a civic duty. “Every citizen must be able to protect themselves and their loved ones while waiting for help,” the government’s public-service site said (our translation) ^[24]. Poland’s defense minister, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, went further: “Defending the homeland is a task for all of us” ^[8].

The U.S. federal message is older and looser. Ready.gov reportedly asks for water and food “for several days” ^[22]. New Jersey is more specific. Its Office of Emergency Management asks for three days of water, “a total of three gallons per family member,” one week of prescription medicines, a battery radio, cash, documents in a waterproof bag and a car that never drops below half a tank ^[23].

Turkey’s standing guidance comes from AFAD, the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority. Its emergency-bag page, dated March 12, 2019, is built around earthquakes and “the first 72 hours” before rescue teams arrive ^[29]. It lists canned food, dried fruit, tahini and grape molasses, copies of documents including the compulsory earthquake insurance policy, a sleeping bag, a whistle, a battery radio and a flashlight ^[29]. When a magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck off Silivri in the Sea of Marmara on April 23, 2025, at 09:49 UTC, AFAD said it had activated the national disaster response plan and that there were no reports of deaths or collapsed buildings ^[30]. The Istanbul governorate later reportedly counted 151 injured, many of them hurt jumping from buildings ^[30].

HOW LONG EACH GOVERNMENT ASKS YOU TO LAST

Put side by side, the asks cluster at three days. Water advice varies more than the time frame. Germany counts 2 liters per person per day, while Britain, Japan and Sweden count 3 liters and the U.S. counts a gallon, about 3.8 liters.

Most Governments Ask for Three Days

Source: national guidance as published; “reported” figures were not reopened on the original page.

A Few Ask for a Week or More. None Asks for a Month.

Source: national guidance as published; durations for Nordic, Baltic and German guides are as reported in secondary sources.

The pattern is plain. No government in our review asks for 30 days. The month-long plan below goes beyond official advice.

WHAT THE OFFICIAL SCENARIOS SAY

The most detailed public list of what could go wrong is Britain’s National Risk Register 2025. It sets out 89 risks in nine themes, each described as a “reasonable worst-case scenario” ^[12]. The register warns that this is “not a prediction of what is most likely to happen” ^[12]. It is a planning tool. It is also the clearest official statement of how long a serious disruption could last.

Britain’s Own Register Describes Outages Longer Than Three Days

Source: UK National Risk Register 2025.

The register also lists contamination of the food supply, disinformation and conflict scenarios, including attacks that would reach NATO’s collective-defense threshold ^[12]. It does not name an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) as a planning scenario, and we found no official source that does, so we leave it out.

The register’s worst grid case is not hypothetical. On April 28, 2025, the whole Iberian Peninsula went dark. The final report by ENTSO-E, the body of Europe’s grid operators, published March 20, 2026, called it a “first of its kind” event, caused by voltage oscillations and gaps in voltage control that set off a cascade of power plants dropping off the grid ^[32]. Power was reportedly back in about 12 hours in Portugal and about 16 hours in Spain ^[32]. That was fast for a blackout of that size. It still left two countries without power for most of a day.

The cable risk also has a recent example. On Dec. 25, 2024, the Estlink 2 power cable between Finland and Estonia and several data cables in the Baltic Sea were damaged, reportedly after a tanker, the Eagle S, dragged its anchor; NATO reportedly launched a Baltic patrol mission in January 2025 [31].

For Istanbul, the named risk is an earthquake. AFAD’s Istanbul seismic-risk project describes the city as one of the three cities with the highest earthquake risk in the world, with potential economic losses of more than $50 billion ^[33]. The probability figures most often cited are reported rather than official: a 64% chance of a magnitude 7 or greater quake by 2030, attributed to the Kandilli Observatory, and a 41% chance, plus or minus 12 points, over 30 years [34]. A 2019 scenario for a magnitude 7.5 quake, published by the city and Kandilli, reportedly estimated 194,000 buildings with moderate or worse damage and 48,000 heavily damaged [34]. Japan’s request names its own list: quakes in the Chishima Trench, the Japan Trench, directly beneath Tokyo and along the Nankai Trough, plus an eruption of Mount Fuji ^[11].

WHY GOVERNMENTS STAY VAGUE

Most of the guides name storms, floods and outages and leave the rest general. The sources point to six reasons.

The fear of panic deserves a caution of its own. Research on crowd behavior, including work by the psychologist John Drury and colleagues, reportedly finds that mass panic in emergencies is rare and that clear, specific information tends to help people act well [36].

Turkey’s approach differs in kind. AFAD’s guidance is specific to one hazard. It names the earthquake, the 72-hour window and the contents of the bag ^[29]. When the Silivri quake struck, the agency published its response plan status the same day ^[30].

In this editor’s judgment, vagueness has a cost. A household told only to “be ready for three days” will stop at three days. The registers give enough detail to plan further, and most families never read them.

30 DAYS FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR

This plan is for two adults and two children. It takes the official lists and stretches them to a month. Build it in layers: 72 hours first, then a week, then a month. Buy what the family already eats and use it in rotation.

A Month at Home Needs About 480 Liters of Water

Source: UK, NJ, BBK and AFAD guidance; 30-day quantities are our estimates.

Water. Official figures run from 2 to 3.8 liters a day for drinking and cooking. We use 4 liters to allow basic washing. Storing the full 480 liters is unrealistic for most apartments, so store half to two-thirds and plan to treat the rest. Fill the bathtub at the first warning. Replace stored tap water about every six months.

Food. Adults need roughly 2,000 to 2,200 calories a day; Germany’s guide reportedly uses 2,200 [25]. Children need less, depending on age. Stock no-cook food for the first days, when stress is high, and add a manual can opener.

Heat and carbon monoxide. This is the part that kills. Carbon monoxide has no smell. Never run a generator, charcoal grill or camp stove indoors for heat. Fit a battery-powered carbon monoxide alarm in the room where the family sleeps. New Jersey’s fire-safety guidance says fuel-burning heaters should only be used with a smoke alarm “AND a carbon monoxide detector” ^[37].

New Jersey has specific kerosene rules. “Kerosene heaters are illegal in all but one- and two-family homes in New Jersey,” and some towns ban them outright, the state’s fire-safety guidance says ^[37]. Where they are allowed, use only clear 1-K kerosene, keep the room ventilated, refill outside and store kerosene outdoors in approved containers ^[37]. Fire codes in many places reportedly bar storing propane cylinders inside homes and apartments; check with your local fire department.

In Istanbul apartments, the wall-hung gas boiler that heats most homes needs electricity, so a power cut also cuts the heat. The same rule applies: no gas, charcoal or camp stove for heating indoors.

Documents and money. Keep copies of IDs, insurance papers, the medicines list described below and printed phone numbers in a waterproof pouch. In Turkey, include the compulsory earthquake insurance (DASK) policy ^[29]. Keep some cash in small notes, as the UK and New Jersey both advise ^[19][23].

Children. Pack comfort food, cards, books and crayons and give each child a flashlight. Practice the plan as a game.

Earthquake extras. In Istanbul, fix tall furniture and televisions to the walls, keep shoes and a flashlight by each bed and agree on a meeting point. Japan’s new request puts quake-proofing homes and fixing furniture first on its list ^[11]. Keep the grab bag by the door and spread the 30-day stock across rooms, so that some of it stays reachable if one room is blocked.

CHRONIC MEDICINES: ASK NOW, NOT DURING THE CRISIS

A disaster can close pharmacies, cut power and jam phone lines. About half of all Americans take a prescription medicine every day, Ready.gov notes ^[38]. Anyone in the family who relies on a regular medicine should make the request now, while doctors and pharmacies are working normally. We give no dosing advice and name no medicines; those decisions belong to your doctor and pharmacist.

THREE DAYS IS THE FLOOR

The official advice is sound as far as it goes. Three days of water, a radio and cash will carry most households through most storms, as Cornwall found in October.

The registers describe something longer. A national blackout that takes a week to fix in full. A solar storm that lasts two. An earthquake that leaves a city’s buildings and pipes damaged for months. Governments have told their citizens what to start with. They have not told them where to stop.

Start with three days. Build to a month.

IN BRIEF

GEOPOLITICS · TURKEY

Americans vote today for control of Congress, and Ankara has much riding on the count. Turkey wants 40 F-35 fighters and an end to the U.S. sanctions imposed over its purchase of Russia’s S-400 system. The president can start most of that, but the Congressional Research Service calls the role of Congress “potentially decisive.” ^[44] Republicans hold the House 218–214 and the Senate 53–47, ^[45] and the final forecasts favor Democrats in the House and lean their way in the Senate. ^[46][47]

The engine sale shows how it works. In June the administration notified Congress of about 80 F110 engines for Turkey’s KAAN fighter; the review ended on July 9 without a vote on a resolution to block it. ^[44][48] Rep. Gregory Meeks, likely to chair the House Foreign Affairs Committee if Democrats win, ^[50] said the State Department had “for months refused to make a good-faith effort to brief me on implications of the sale.” ^[49] Overriding a veto would still take 290 House and 67 Senate votes. ^[48] Polls close from 00:00 UTC on Wednesday; Alaska, the last, at 06:00 UTC. ^[51]

The move: If you supply Turkish defense programs with U.S. parts, build congressional review time into delivery dates; the committee chairs named in January will set the pace.

ENERGY · OIL

Brent crude fell 7.6% on Monday to settle at $104.77 a barrel, and U.S. crude fell 7.4% to $96.46, its biggest one-day drop since July 27, after gaining more than 10% in October. ^[52] Iran’s negotiators left the Doha talks on Sunday with no breakthrough, and a draft is circulating. Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Iran’s seven-step plan, which covers ending the U.S. blockade, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, an oil-sales waiver and lifting sanctions, is “now condensed, making it possible to implement it within two days.” ^[54]

Secretary of State Rubio said President Trump “hasn’t made a decision” and that “we would prefer to do it peacefully.” ^[52] Late update: Brent rose 0.5% to $105.25 by 01:04 UTC on Tuesday after the Wall Street Journal reported, citing U.S. officials, that the United States had struck Iran’s Qeshm Island; some officials called the strikes defensive. ^[53]

The move: If you buy fuel or freight, use the lower price to review your cover, not to drop it; a plan to reopen the strait is not an open strait.

GEOPOLITICS · DEFENSE

“Discussions are currently under way to evaluate Syria’s entry into the Mecca alliance,” Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani told the Manama Dialogue in Bahrain on Saturday. The pact, signed in Mecca on Aug. 7 by Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan, treats an attack on one member as an attack on all three. ^[55]

Turkish officials have ruled out sending troops to Yemen, and the Turkish parliament’s foreign affairs committee has approved a bill to ratify the pact, Middle East Eye reports, citing Al Jazeera. The analyst Samy Akil of Syria Report doubts Syria will join soon: “We’re still in the speculation phase, so nothing has been decided yet.” ^[55]

The move: If you price risk on Syrian reconstruction, follow the ratification vote in Turkey’s full parliament; it is the next concrete step for the pact.

PROFILE

A 25-year company man from the tank business inherits Gulfstream, and a waiting list for its jets.

Danny Deep takes over General Dynamics, the defense group that owns Gulfstream, on Jan. 1, 2027. The General Dynamics board elected him chief executive on Oct. 7, succeeding Phebe Novakovic, CEO since 2013, who becomes executive chairman. ^[56]

He has spent 25 years at the company. Before becoming its president in 2025 he ran Global Operations and the Combat Systems group, and earlier he was president of Land Systems, which builds combat vehicles. General Dynamics employs more than 120,000 people and had $52.6 billion in revenue in 2025. ^[56] “I am profoundly honored to be selected as the next CEO,” he said. ^[56]

For private-jet buyers, his first numbers are Gulfstream’s. Presenting third-quarter results on Friday, Deep said the 33rd G800 had been handed over and that demand for Gulfstream jets is holding up despite geopolitical and interest-rate worries. ^[57]

The move: If you are shopping for a large-cabin jet, get your delivery slot in writing early; a book-to-bill above 1 means orders are arriving faster than jets leave the line.

DEFENSE · SOUTHEAST ASIA

Intelligence Online reported on Monday that Cambodia is exploring drone partnerships with Ankara and Kyiv, with defense planning under way for a possible new round of fighting on its frozen border with Thailand. ^[58] The public record shows where Turkey stands today. On Oct. 16 the two countries signed a Military Framework Agreement at Dolmabahçe, in the presence of President Erdoğan and Prime Minister Hun Manet. ^[59] It sets a legal basis for training, exchange of experience and capacity building. ^[61]

Erdoğan welcomed Cambodia’s interest in Turkish defense products and saw “significant potential” for cooperation, but no contract was announced. On the border, he said Turkey hopes the dispute “will be resolved through dialogue and peaceful means,” and that Turkey has delivered aid to more than 3,000 people affected by the clashes. ^[59]

WEALTH & MARKETS · UK PROPERTY

Nationwide says UK house prices rose 0.5% in the year to October, down from 0.8% in September and the weakest pace since January 2024. Prices were flat on the month, and the average home cost £273,566. Chief economist Robert Gardner said the Middle East conflict is pushing up energy prices and inflation worries, and that market expectations of Bank Rate increases have kept upward pressure on the rates behind mortgage pricing. Surveyors report weak new buyer enquiries, and consumer confidence dipped in October. He still expects the market to regain momentum once the energy shock fades, because incomes have been rising faster than prices. ^[62]

The Bank of England announces its next rate decision on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 12:00 UTC. ^[63] It is widely expected to raise Bank Rate by a quarter point, to 4.0% from 3.75%, Reuters reports. ^[64]

The move: If you own or let property in Britain, ask your bank how Thursday’s decision will change your terms.
