Is the world preparing for the apocalypse? | BBC News
.
.
Preppers have long been planning for the worst-case scenario. Are governments now doing the same?
The UK government has launched a national “Be Ready” campaign, urging people to keep enough food, water and medicine at home to prepare for three days of disruption.
Other European countries have similar policies. But for preppers, whose mission it is to ready themselves for a future disaster, this is old news. Have the preppers been vindicated? And what exactly are we prepping for?
Tristan Redman speaks to Lucy Easthope about her role as a disaster planning expert and Gabriel Gatehouse joins us in the studio to talk about what he's learnt from interviewing British preppers.
