Responsible or panicked? Meet the people around the world already preparing for crisis

Sales of tinned food, radios and torches spiked in some shops after the UK government advised households what to stock up on in case of a national emergency.

While having this stash - or personal crisis kit - is new to the UK, it's common in many places across the world.

So what do these emergency supplies look like for some and how do they manage it?

Posted to every household in Sweden, it detailed what to stock up on and how to act "in case of crisis or war".

Andreas, who lives in Stockholm, built up a relatively small stockpile in his basement, including a crank radio, a tank with 10 litres of water and about €200 (£170) in cash. He says he already owned some of the items.

It was a "wake-up call", he says, but admits he hasn't followed the guidance in full.

"I feel secure… I'm not that worried."

Dan C, a physiotherapist in Maryland, started his emergency supply after becoming a father. So far, he has spent about $6,000 (£4,470), storing it on shelves in his basement.
