A cyber attack is a realistic scenario for which it is wise to prepare yourself and your family well. In such situations, daily life can be disrupted considerably. Essential services such as online banking, e-mail and other means of communication may fail, leaving you unable to access your bank account, perform work or contact others, for example. Vital services such as healthcare, public transport and water supplies may also be temporarily disrupted. Being prepared will help you better cope with these interruptions and limit the impact on you and your family.

During a cyberattack, it is important to be prepared with regard to several issues, such as lighting, communication, food supply and personal comfort. Torches, candles and lighters are crucial to provide illumination during a cyber attack. Make sure you have a sufficient supply of batteries and regularly check if they are still working. Keep a stock of non-perishable foods such as canned food, cereals, dried fruits and nuts. Also make sure you have enough drinking water, as your local water company will also be without power. A water filter may come in handy if the cyber attack lasts for a long time. And if it is winter, make sure you have a way to generate heat, such as hand warmers or a portable heater combined with a generator. After all, your central heating boiler won't work without power. Make sure you have enough fuel if you use a generator. If you rely on an induction stove, consider a camping cooker. A battery-powered radio can be important to keep abreast of news and alerts, especially if the cyber attack involves an emergency. A mobile phone with a fully charged power bank can also come in handy for communication. Make sure you have enough cash, as debit card payments are most likely unavailable during a cyber attack. Provide yourself with toilet paper, wet wipes, hand sanitiser and other hygiene products to stay comfortable during a cyber attack.

More economical than buying separately - and you're ready to go immediately!

The advantage of an emergency kit over buying individual items is on average 50 euros*! You also get rid of the hassle of sorting out what you need. All you have to do is add items that you probably already have at home. Things that are important for your situation. Think of things like medicines, copies of identity documents, cash and e.g. some toiletries like toilet paper, sanitary towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc.

*Depending on the type of emergency kit

Emergency packs are tailored to the average consumption of persons, regardless of age. Although young children often consume less food and water than adults, we still recommend choosing an emergency pack based on the total number of people in the household. This is because:

1. Essential needs such as hygiene products and emergency blankets are independent of age.
2. Stocking up for the future is smart; children grow fast and their needs will increase.
3. Extra items are always handy for emergencies that last longer or unexpected guests, even if the children consume less now.

This set of 2 walkie-talkies (also called walkie-talkies) is very easy to use. Standard equipped with 16 normal PMR channels allowing you to communicate with other brands of walkie-talkies as well. This set of walkie-talkies can be used licence-free.

Predicting the range of a walkie-talkie is tricky. A higher transmission power does not always guarantee a better range. It is crucial to optimise the location and antenna, for example by using an outdoor antenna. In ideal conditions with clear visibility, the range can be tens of kilometres, but obstacles, buildings and antenna placement play a major role. Even the curvature of the earth can have an influence within 2 kilometres. The final range depends on several factors, including transmission power and obstacles between transmitter and receiver.

Please note that walkie-talkies are only in emergency kits from 2 people upwards.

The multifunctional emergency radio receives AM and FM. It also features an LED torch and a mobile phone charger. This versatile device has an internal 2000 mAh lithium battery that lasts for hours and is charged using the built-in hand crank, the solar panel or the USB port.

For optimal battery life of the emergency radio, it is recommended to charge it regularly (e.g. 1x per quarter). To do this, connect the emergency radio to a USB charger or USB port.
