The French government is set to distribute crisis survival manuals to its citizens this summer as part of a broader 'National resilience strategy.' The manuals, inspired by Sweden's previous initiatives, focus on practical guidance for various crises like industrial accidents, climate events, and cyber threats. They will include advice on creating emergency kits and connecting with neighbors. Aimed at fostering community resilience, the booklet underscores the importance of preparedness in an era marked by growing international tensions.
According to French daily Le Figaro, the booklets will explain how to respond to various types of crises, including industrial accidents, severe climate events, cyber attacks and even armed conflict.
While the content was allegedly inspired by the manual Sweden released at the end of 2024, the French version is less focused on armed conflict and more based on offering practical advice to 'face a few days independently'.
Advice will apparently include getting contact information for neighbours and creating a 'survival kit' of at least six litres of bottled water, a dozen cans of food and batteries, a flashlight in the event of a power outage.
The French initiative is part of a previously discussed 'National resilience strategy' from April 2022, which was developed in the aftermath of tensions in international relations.
