Is France preparing for war? The government is planning to send a "survival

The French government is reportedly planning to send a "survival manual" to all families containing advice on what to do in the event of an armed conflict, natural disaster or health crisis.

While French media said the manual does not mention Russia or the Ukraine war by name, earlier this month French President Emmanuel Macron warned the nation about the "Russian threat" facing Europe as the US disengages from the continent.

If approved, it will be sent out before the summer and will provide similar information on a government website launched in 2022. There, people can find an online chart showing what to put in a survival kit including chargers, spare keys, warm clothes and six liters of water per person.

France is not alone in releasing these updates, Germany is doing something similar, last year using war games to test how the military and civilians responded.

He is also working on a bunker app which will tell people where to take shelter if the country is attacked and has drafted a top-secret document called Operation Deutschland that details how he would protect critical infrastructure and mobilize his forces in wartime.

Like France, the advice relates to a range of threats including pandemics, natural disasters and attacks.

Last year, several Nordic countries also issued pamphlets informing civilians what to do in a crisis.

After three years of war, writes Skynews .
