Ireland drops 72-hour supply advice from emergency booklet over anxiety concerns

The Irish government removed the 72-hour supply recommendation from its 'Be Emergency Ready' booklet, citing concerns it would cause public anxiety, despite the EU recommending such preparedness as part of a wider strategy. This marks a deviation from EU guidance and reflects a cautious approach to public communication on civil defense. The move may signal a softer stance on emergency preparedness messaging, potentially affecting public readiness and EU alignment.
