Aussies urged ‘be prepared’ and stockpile tinned food, bottled water as threats grow | 28 Oct 2026 | Millions of people around the world are stockpiling in case of an emergency, and now Aussies are being advised to do the same. In the UK, sales of tinned food, bottled water, wind-up radios and torches have surged following government advice to “be ready” in the event of a[n Agenda 2030 engendered] crisis. Last week, Prime Minister Andy Burnham urged the public to stock up on three days’ worth of supplies amid the growing threat of war, cyber-attacks and the [so-called] climate crisis. It’s not just in the UK, but in many countries around the world. Sweden and Norway, for example, are urged to prepare sufficient household essentials for up to a week in case of major disruptions.
