Based on the lessons learned from the coronavirus epidemic, it is important to prepare for unexpected events, be it nuclear war, natural disasters or armed conflict. Based on what we saw during the pandemic, people tended to stock up on basic food and toilet paper, which often led to shortages in stores.

However, preparation is not only about daily consumer goods, but also about tools that can provide longer-term security. These include, for example, generators, which can provide temporary power supply, or chainsaws, which can help clean up ruins in the event of a disaster – points out a recent article from the Index.

The British government has already made specific suggestions for the population on what they should prepare for and what equipment they should purchase. These items include bottled water, dynamo flashlights, first aid kits, and batteries. With their help, people can stay in their homes for longer if the situation requires it.

In Hungary, too, more and more people take preparation seriously and collect the tools and food necessary for survival. “Preppers” who make disaster preparedness a priority form active communities and share preparedness techniques and advice. Government and civil initiatives also help them in this, for example by the Association of Hungarian Preparers or the Hungarian Prepper and Self-Defense Forum.

The article emphasizes that conscious preparation and self-education are essential to survival, and although this attitude may seem strange to many, preparedness can be important in the event of an unexpected disaster.
