France Finalizes Survival Manual for Citizen Crisis Preparedness

The 20-page guide, awaiting Prime Minister Bayrou's approval, aims to equip households for emergencies like armed conflict, natural disasters, and nuclear incidents.

The survival manual includes practical advice for emergencies, such as creating a survival kit with water, canned food, medical supplies, and essential tools.
It provides guidance on nuclear safety measures, emergency contacts, and actions to take during imminent threats.
Citizens are encouraged to contribute to community defense through volunteering in reserve units or firefighting groups.
The initiative aligns with similar preparedness efforts in Nordic countries and reflects increased European security concerns due to Russian aggression and reduced U.S. support.
If approved, the manual will be distributed to all French households before summer 2025 as part of France's national resilience strategy.
