Emergency kit and resilience Belgians need to wake up!
Emergency kit and resilience for emergency situations raised to a higher level after government and NATO warnings about war. Protect your family and Belgians really need to wake up.
An emergency kit consisting of an emergency radio, a few band-aids, and a bottle of water is insufficient for what is coming our way!
Top NATO military official in Brussels warns that "Belgians really need to wake up"
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte urges greater investment in defence, not only in the military but also in industry and in the "resilience of citizens"
Dutch approach
For months, the Netherlands has been pursuing an open and clear policy towards its population regarding resilience, emergency kits, and the threat of war. The Dutch NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte naturally has a great influence on the Dutch population. There are podcasts everywhere with defence specialists, discussing the military efforts of the Dutch army and advice on preparing for an emergency situation. The result is not only greater awareness among the Dutch but also a more intense reaction, with the Dutch preparing for an emergency situation more quickly.
Top NATO military official in Brussels warns Belgians about Russian threat: “People really need to wake up”
Belgian approach
Recently, the Minister of the Interior, in cooperation with the National Crisis Centre, advised Belgians to have an emergency kit available. The announcement is part of a communication campaign by the Belgian government aimed at making Belgians more resilient. This communication campaign has already been mapped out over a 4-year trajectory.
The very cautious Belgian approach, aimed at not causing panic, worked excellently. Belgians received the message but barely lost sleep over it. Emergency radios and small first-aid kits flew off the shelves for a few days, but otherwise, everything continued as usual.
Expect the unexpected!
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst!
It goes without saying that an emergency radio, a small first aid kit, and a few bottles of water do not significantly increase the population's resilience against a terrorist attack or war.
The government's resilience campaign will soon have to shift up a gear!
We have no say in what the government does, but we can already put together emergency kits that can increase the resilience of Belgians.

Lessons learned from Ukraine. Good bulletproof vests and helmets are scarce or no longer available once an emergency breaks out. Make sure you have a bulletproof vest and helmet at home in addition to your emergency kit!
Given that 80% of injuries in Ukraine are caused by shrapnel from explosions, it is by no means an exaggerated luxury to have a shrapnel-proof and bulletproof vest and helmet ready for a war situation or terrorist threat.
