## Summary

The Government is urging people in Britain to prepare for emergencies by keeping basic supplies at home. It says these steps could help households cope with events such as severe weather, cyber attacks or disruption to essential services, while easing pressure on emergency responders.

The advice includes storing enough food and water for three days, keeping cash in case electronic payments fail, and having a wind-up or battery radio and a power pack. A first aid kit and baby food are also mentioned. The campaign comes as 32 Government websites have gone offline while authorities address a security flaw in PHP; the Government says no major public-facing critical services have been affected.
