France to distribute 'survival manual' to prepare citizens for emergencies

France plans to distribute a "survival manual" to every household, instructing citizens on how to prepare for various emergencies, including armed conflict. Prime Minister François Bayrou's spokeswoman noted the manual aims to foster resilience against crises like natural disasters, cyber incidents, and health emergencies. The 20-page booklet, set for distribution before summer, will contain practical advice.

It encourages families to maintain emergency contact lists, stay informed about threats, and prepare a "survival kit" with food, water, and medical supplies. While some citizens express skepticism about the likelihood of war, others believe preparedness is essential.
