Your 72-hour emergency kit, sized to your household
In October 2026 the Luxembourg government asked every household to be ready for 72 hours on its own: a long power cut, a storm, a cyberattack. Its checklist does not say how much your family needs. This page does.
The list follows the official Lëtz Prepare 72-hour checklist. I am not part of the government.
