What is the Be Ready campaign?
The Be Ready campaign, mentioned alongside Wes Streeting's warning, encourages households to prepare for emergencies. It advises storing essentials like water, tinned food, cash, and radios. This initiative, launched recently, aims to build national resilience. It's the first comprehensive public preparedness campaign since the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, which established a framework for emergency response.
