Should we all be prepping?

How likely is an emergency and how do individuals and communities prepare for them?

The UK government is due to launch a campaign to advise citizens on how to stock food and water – to prepare for an emergency. It comes alongside warnings of economic shocks, global wars and extreme weather.

Laura Miller hears from the prepper podcaster Brian Cranie, and Jeannie Barr from St Andrews First Aid about what we should be preparing for – and how.
