, ‘The French government plans to distribute a “survival manual” containing emergency action guidelines to all households.’
,
, ‘According to local media Europe1 on the 18th (local time), the French government intends to distribute a 20-page survival manual to each household to prepare for potential emergencies such as armed conflict, health crises, or natural disasters.’
,
, ‘Europe1 explained that the manual contains steps to take when an urgent threat situation arises in France. It is awaiting final approval from French Prime Minister François Bayrou and is likely to be distributed before this summer. However, the French government stated that specific distribution conditions have not yet been determined.’
,
, ‘The manual guides emergency actions in three stages: “how to protect yourself and those around you,” “actions to take during emergencies,” and “ways to participate in local defense.” Specifically, it includes an emergency contact list, radio channel information, and instructions to close doors and windows in case of a nuclear threat.’
,
, ‘The first stage also recommends the preparation of a “survival kit.” This includes stocking at least 6 liters of water and about 10 cans of food, and preparing a flashlight and batteries for power outages. The kit also includes emergency medical supplies, saline, a radio, a charger, and cold weather clothing.’
,
, ‘This move comes after French President Emmanuel Macron mentioned in a national address on the 5th that France and Europe need to prepare against the “threat from Russia.” During his visit to an airbase in eastern France, President Macron also emphasized the reinforcement of nuclear deterrence by announcing the additional acquisition of Rafale fighter jets.’
,
, ‘French daily Le Figaro reported, “It is interpreted that the French government is preparing a response as the instability of the international situation deepens.” However, a government official stated, “The current manual aims to respond to all types of crises including natural, technological, cyber and security-related ones.”‘
