Social media buzzes about stocking up survival kits, but how much preparation is necessary?

Posts showing people stocking up on bottled water, food and survival supplies amid fears of war are gaining traction on social media, prompting others to wonder whether they should do the same. One user shared a shopping list that included 72 liters of bottled water, 80 packs of instant rice and 40 packets of instant noodles, along with a portable gas stove, emergency radio and power banks. Others reported purchasing gas masks, water purification tablets, protective helmets and portable toilets.
