In mid Oct 2026, the UK government advised members of the public and businesses to think more about how they would cope with natural disasters, cyber-attacks or state-sponsored terrorism.
The "Be Ready" campaign encourages households to stock up on supplies to survive for three days and also suggested having a FM radio for updates during outages, and writing down the frequencies of any national or local radio stations.
UK retailer Robert Dyas reported a 160% increase in sales of radios compared with last week, while another retailer Maplin said sales had increased by 92% in radios compared with the same period last month.
