British people warned to stock up on tins amid Russia and wildfire threats

British people are likely to be warned on how best to prepare for freak deadly weather and even missile attacks from rogue countries.

The Government will seek to educate people on how to best prepare for extreme storms, wildfires and even attacks from hostile states.

These will include stocking up on food and bottled water, the Guardian reported.

The updated ‘war book’ will aim to boost British people’s resilience in the event of a climactic event – whether man made or natural.

Sir Keir Starmer warned this year that ‘there could be an attack by Russia on Nato as soon as 2030’.

‘It won’t be anything like duck and cover’, one government official told the FT which told US pupils to hide under desks in the event of nuclear annihilation during the Cold War.

‘But there will be practical advice on things you can do to improve domestic resilience, like having some bottled water and tinned food. It will be common sense, not scaremongering’, they added.

The Cabinet Office said: ‘Safeguarding national security is the first priority of any government.

‘We’re committed to raising awareness of simple steps households can take to make themselves more resilient, as well as driving forward the home defence programme to build our country’s preparedness for various threats.’

It came amid growing concerns from British intelligence that Russia could employ ‘grey zone’ attacks on the UK easily deniable by the Kremlin.

There are fears that Moscow could hire gangs or mercenaries to carry out attacks on their behalf without threatening Nato.

Cyber threats are also a concern after hackers backed by Iran were blamed for a cyberattack that caused a UK power plant to be briefly taken offline.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has warned Russia of making ‘outrageous threats’ against the UK after providing Ukraine with blueprints to allow Kyiv to improve its production of long-range missiles.

Earlier in the month, millions of people received an alert on their mobile devices warning them of a ‘very high risk of wildfires nationally’.

It came after Andy Burnham described Britain as a ‘tinderbox’ and a temporary ban on disposable barbecues was put in place.

What you need to keep by your bed to survive Armageggon

Doomsday prepper Dan Goss suggests people have about three days of essentials at home, enough that you can survive without a trip to Tesco’s.

Here are some of his tips and things to have by your bedside:

• Keep all documents, like passports and birth certificates, in an easily accessible place, preferably inside a waterproof bag stored in a fireproof safe
• A hard drive big enough to store backups of your digital information
• A small water filter and a large water bottle
• Battery lanterns or candles
• A first aid kit
• A ‘go bag’, a tough backpack with a waist belt and shoulder straps
• Weather-resistant clothing, including walking shoes
• Medications, such as antibiotics
• A compass and a map
• Long-life, calorie-dense food
• A tent
• A means of making a fire, such as the ‘humble and noble corner-shop disposable lighter’.
