Overview
- Cuba’s civil defense agency released a nine-page family guide for a possible military attack, with no reports of an imminent threat.
- The document urges a household go-bag with water, ready-to-eat food, needed medicines, a radio with backup power, a flashlight, and hygiene items.
- It explains air-raid signals, advises sheltering in basements or ditches, warns against touching suspect objects, and teaches basic first aid for bleeding and fractures.
- Digital copies appeared on official portals such as Havana’s citizen site, and the outlet 14yMedio reported other government pages removed the text after posting.
- Facebook comments on pages like Venceremos mocked the advice as unrealistic, citing empty stores and power cuts of up to 22 hours in Havana, problems the government links to long U.S. trade limits and a December oil embargo.
