UK Deputy PM: Brits should stock up on candles and battery-powered radios

by

Households should stock up on candles and battery-powered radios in case a catastrophe cripples digital gadgets, the deputy prime minister has warned. Oliver Dowden urged people to prepare for being thrown back to an ‘analogue’ era if internet and power systems collapse.

Details will be set out in an official government ‘resilience website’ – launching next year – which will offer advice on how to prepare for natural disasters, pandemics and malicious acts such as cyber attacks or terrorism.
