More Australians stocking disaster supplies as climate risks rise
Ordinary Australians are increasingly building emergency supplies and disaster kits as extreme weather threats grow.
Governments worldwide ask citizens to prepare for disruptions. Australia is no different.
As summer approaches, climate risks rise. Many Australian families are building emergency kits and making plans.
Official advice: households should store 72 hours of food and water. Keep one week of medicines, first-aid kits, torches, batteries and radios.
Parents need spare nappies, formula and clothes for children. Pet owners need evacuation plans.
Parents in disaster areas show growing interest. Several said they want to stock supplies after evacuating in life-threatening situations.
This trend shows in rising kit sales, more electric cars and growing solar battery use. These steps build household strength, but cost money and need home ownership.
Wealthier people get more protection.
