The situation in our surrounding world is constantly changing. Events such as Russia’s unauthorized annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the ongoing war in Ukraine have shaken the European security situation. The increased uncertainty due to Russia’s behavior has highlighted the importance of domestic preparedness and crisis preparedness. Being prepared with the appropriate crisis products is critical to dealing with these uncertain times.

The ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine has affected the security of Great Britain, although the risk of a direct armed attack is considered low at the moment. Instead, the threat has primarily been directed at influence operations and other hostile acts. Sabotage against critical infrastructure has occurred, cyber attacks are recurring, and political influence campaigns targeting the UK are in full swing.

Therefore, the government now recommends that every citizen takes their responsibility and braces themselves for unexpected events.
