Household-level resilience measures which, at scale, can make a significant impact on emergency services and public crisis response.
Just a simple first aid kit, fire safety kit, flashlight/torch, and a handful of meals and corresponding litres of drinking water. Not very expensive, not very intrusive, but proven to be enough to save lives directly and indirectly in a large-scale emergency.

Isn't this one of those things that everyone else in e.g. US and Europe does, and are surprised that Brits don't do?

Tinned water? I only read the headline.
