Belgium publishes a practical preparedness guide in its multi-year campaign
Belgium’s National Crisis Centre published a practical guide on 1 October 2026 covering reliable information, household emergency plans, tailored kits and protective actions. The centre’s current kit guidance separately recommends at least 72 hours of home autonomy and distinguishes supplies to take when leaving from supplies for staying at home.
What changed
