NSC denies 72-hour warning as the world stocks up for emergencies
Thailand's National Security Council (NSC) officially denied a viral warning advising citizens to stock up on 72 hours of emergency supplies, urging the public to rely on official information channels.
Despite the denial, the NSC is actively monitoring the Middle East crisis and coordinating contingency plans, reflecting a broader global emphasis on emergency preparedness.
Countries worldwide, particularly in Europe and Asia, are encouraging households to maintain emergency provisions for 3 to 10 days or more, aiming to strengthen public resilience against natural disasters, power outages, cyberattacks, and potential security threats.
