What is included in the emergency pack that Europe announced?

Survival Kit

The European Union is on alert. In a scenario of “changing threats,” the European body has advised member states of the necessity for individuals to prepare for potential disasters, whether climatic emergencies or military conflicts. In this regard, Brussels has requested European residents to construct an emergency pack that will allow them to survive for at least 72 hours in the case of a serious disaster.

In response to this request, several countries, such as France, have already taken action and announced the distribution of a “Survival Manual .” Other European nations like Sweden and Finland have taken the lead in this movement. If approved by the government, the handbook could be distributed before the summer and will include helpful tips on how to handle emergencies, including how to keep a list of emergency contacts, identify official radio channels, and take precautions in case of a nuclear accident. It is also advised that citizens keep an emergency kit on hand.

These announcements are meant to promote resilience and make sure that the populace is prepared to respond to emergency situations like natural disasters, power outages, or even international conflicts, according to nations that are already spreading awareness about the need for these emergency kits.

21 expensive cars that were stolen in the U.S. were found Valencia port

Together with the US Container Security Initiative, the Guardia Civil and the Tax Agency found 21 high-end cars that were stolen in the U.S. and were on their way to Africa in the port of Valencia. The cars, which were worth a total of €1.1 million, were reported stolen and were being moved in containers.

The cars were stolen in the U.S. and were on their way to different places in Africa, stopping in Valencia’s port. Risk analysis units made up of Guardia Civil and Tax Agency officers were able to find several packages that might not have had the goods that were claimed to have been inside.

With the help of the information gathered, it was confirmed that stolen cars that had been in Valencia on their way to the United States had actually arrived. The groups that ship stolen cars either traded legally declared cars for stolen ones or directly declared the stolen cars as other goods, like furniture or mattresses.

In the past few weeks, 21 vehicles have been found and will be sent back to their home countries to be given to their original owners.

14 immigrants were saved on a boat 45 miles off the coast of Alicante

On Wednesday, 2nd April, the Maritime Rescue ship Salvamar Leo saved 14 immigrants who were travelling in a boat about 45 miles from Alicante.

In the middle of the afternoon on Wednesday, Maritime Rescue sent out its Helimer 223 helicopter and the Salvamar Leo, which is based in Alicante, to save the people on a small boat.

Their journey began on the Salvamar Leo, which took them to the Temporary Assistance Centre for Foreigners in the port of Alicante. There, the Red Cross took care of them.

The Red Cross says that all of the refugees they saved were men, and two of them were younger than 15 years old. They were all healthy after being treated.

The National Police took over the refugees after getting help from the Red Cross. They are now trying to find the boat’s captain so they can arrest him, as is normal in these situations.
