After the Red Cross first aid kit, another emergency system could become widespread in France. To anticipate risks, the French government plans to send all French citizens an emergency survival booklet. According to information from Europe 1, this emergency manual would detail all the “good actions to take in the event of an imminent threat in France“.
Preparing for every eventuality
Faced with the increase in threats, the government intends to prepare for all eventualities. Armed conflict is obviously in the crosshairs, but the manual is not limited to this, also giving prominence to natural disasters such as floods or even the possibility of a new health epidemic. “The objective is to tell the French to prepare for all eventualities and not just armed conflict. Since French doctrine is deterrence, it would be counterproductive to focus solely on armed conflict. and to put only that in the minds of the French,” a government source said on Europe 1.
A survival kit to protect yourself
About twenty pages long, the government survival guide is divided into three distinct parts. The first aims to train the French in the first steps of protection, by raising awareness among the population about the concept of solidarity. It will aim not only to protect themselves, but also to protect vulnerable people, such as children, neighbors, etc. Practical advice will include keeping emergency numbers and those of your loved ones handy in case of need.
Also, a survival kit will be recommended, similar to the one recommended by the Red Cross last year. Essential in the event of a crisis, it includes six liters of bottled water, cans of food, batteries, flashlights, and everything needed to last a few days confined in the event of a major problem. As for first aid, the kit should contain paracetamol, compresses, and saline solution. Once again, it will be a matter of preparing effectively rather than creating general psychosis.
In the event of an imminent threat
The second part of the booklet will be devoted to the actions to adopt in the event of a direct threat. The chapter will provide emergency numbers and detail the procedure to follow depending on the type of crisis. This will include sealing openings and knowing emergency radio frequencies. The last part, finally, will serve as an official call for military action. It will explain how to enroll in an armed, digital, or municipal reserve, with the aim of recruiting young people, but not only that.
Inspired by the Swedish model, this survival guide in the event of a major crisis should simply be titled “Crisis Instruction Manual“. It's hard to be more explicit.
