Growing Anxiety Sparks Surge in Disaster Survival Kit Purchases, With Some Spending Millions of Won

The first piece of news is about someone spending 4 million won on a disaster kit.

Recently, posts detailing the preparation of disaster survival kits in anticipation of a war or large-scale disaster have been popping up online.

Reviews claiming expenditures of up to 4 million won are also being shared.

One netizen revealed they spent 4 million won while preparing a disaster kit for a family of five.

The items included food supplies such as bottled water, canned tuna, and chocolate bars, as well as solar-powered lanterns and water purification filters.

Another netizen posted a photo showing they had purchased 200 bottles of 500ml water.

There were also cases where people shared their order histories, showing purchases of ramen, portable gas burners, and energy bars.

Recommendations to secure emergency supplies in preparation for disasters originated overseas.

Japan advises citizens to stockpile at least three days, and if possible, a week's worth of food and water.

The UK government has also recommended preparing food and drinking water for at least 72 hours.

Responses indicate that these overseas situations are fueling a vague sense of anxiety domestically as well.
