Former FBI Deputy Director Bongino called on the American people on the 26th to stock up at least three days’ worth of food, drinking water and other emergency supplies at home as soon as possible, and stressed, “Get ready for your family today.” This warning comes from the U.S. Has come in the form of.Department of Defense Announcing the “Fortress” doomsday plan, the goal is to ensure that even if civilian infrastructure is paralyzed, military bases can continue to operate for at least 90 days to deal with the possibility of large-scale war.

The Daily Mail reported that Dan Bongino said in a podcast on the 26th that the American people should follow the example of the United Kingdom and many European countries and prepare emergency contingency plans in advance and prepare radios, batteries, emergency food, rainwater collection and water purification equipment and other supplies. He stressed that being prepared does not mean panic, and pointed out that the U.S. military has begun preparing for potential crises and that ordinary families should do the same. He said: “The Pentagon is building a ‘Fortress America,’ and you should also build a ‘Fortress My Home.'” He also reminded the public that when a crisis occurs, neighbors may not have extra food to share.
Fox News reported that US Defense Secretary Jesus announced the Fortress program on September 30, which is meant to provide federal operations for resiliency, military resources, energy, supplies and survivability. According to the plan, even if major military bases in the United States lose external support, they should be able to independently maintain basic operations such as electricity, water supply, fuel, and communications for at least three months. To reduce reliance on civilian power grids, the Pentagon plans to deploy portable nuclear reactors, large-scale battery energy storage systems, and microgrids to allow military bases to continue operations during long-term power outages.
The plan reflects a broader shift in the Pentagon’s thinking about threats to the American homeland, including consideration of the potential for a major conflict to damage infrastructure that supports military operations within the United States.
In addition, the Pentagon also plans to establish strategic stockpiles of ammunition, fuel, key minerals, electronic parts and medical supplies, and require at least two qualified supply or production pipelines for key military supplies to avoid disruptions in a single supply source affecting military operations. Additionally, private factories will also be prepared to switch to production of defense supplies should a crisis arise, reducing the risk of disruption in wartime supplies.

The British government reported that the PHP software security vulnerability incident in October, as well as this summer’s record high temperatures, drought and wildfires, all highlighted the importance of advance preparation. The European Commission also last year called on the public to prepare emergency supply kits that could last up to 72 hours.
In Japan, Fuji TV reported that Disaster Prevention Minister Hiroshi Hosono said on the 26th that on November 2, the day the disaster prevention agency was officially established, an emergency appeal will be issued to people across the country to strengthen disaster prevention preparedness.
Hosono stressed that families should prepare “at least three days, preferably a week” of food, drinking water, and toilet supplies to cope with major disasters such as the Nankai Trough earthquake and direct earthquakes in the capital, and allow the government to prioritize rescue resources for those who truly need assistance.
