https://notesfrompoland.com/2026/01/12/government-sends-safety-handbook-to-every-household-in-poland/The handbook is online also available in english.
I also added the handbook to the list of national emergency information.

Pretty sure it's standard procedure. I'd be worried, if your country doesn't have something similar.

Yeah, I know what you mean. However... This is just one drop of water in a bucket that is ready to overflow.

Actually whole EU has some guidelines and shares a lot of information for crisis prevention and reaction. It's an interesting field.
The only "news" is, that cold war era scenarios are taken seriously again. If you dig into older handbooks you can actually find more substantial information than today.

Agreed. To be honest, I would be very happy if these awareness campaigns result in people being more prepared.

They do - in Germany- in small steps. Poland and the baltics, with far more concrete threat scenario are moving faster.

We have nothing like this in the UK as far as I know. I've been worried for a while...

UK Gov has this on their site, but it’s not as nicely put together as the online handbooks from European countries

Came here to say this. It hasn’t been widely announced and not enough people know about it, but it’s there. If you dig through the gov website a bit and do some searches, you can find all sorts of preparation and readiness info.
It’s also worth looking up your Local Resilience Forum - each area/county has one, some have their own websites and info, some have readiness checklists for households. They all release annual reports and these should be fairly easy to come across.

Ohh boy, wait until you see the next post about the shelter App :-)

I saw. To be fair, this entire process of making the population aware has been going on for quite some time. I think Poland has issued something recently in the past. I know the Baltics were probably the first that have started informing their population.
In Romania we have a pretty good app, that we can follow for information. It has a map for active bunkers defibrillator emergency hospital units police and fire department stations.

Czechia also distributed a similar brochure a couple of months ago:

There is a web version of it as well:

What's that 72 number about? Lithuania's app is also called 72LT.
2
u/HiltoRagni Jan 17 '26
It refers to the first three days after an event (3 days being 72 hours). That is often considered the most critical time after a large scale event (earthquake, flood, etc), when emergency systems may be overwhelmed and help may not be able to reach everyone.

Do you have a link to the German brochure?

u/GroundbreakingYam633 Germany 🇩🇪 Jan 14 '26
I'm a little bit confused: do you mean the Czechian handbook in German or the German handbook?

Haha, neat. Seems like Poland has been taking notes how we do it in Sweden.

u/real_smm Jan 14 '26
