00:00It's not just about supplies and what the government's doing.
00:03It's also what we're supposed to be doing ourselves.
00:06But happily for us, the Cabinet Office have also produced a document for all of us citizens to use
00:13to help us prepare for what we should be having ready in an emergency, which I have here.
00:17I have in my hand a piece of paper, the Household Emergency Plan, Cleo.
00:22I've literally never seen that before. That's from the Cabinet Office.
00:25It's on the government website.
00:27Right. So you're supposed to have printed this out.
00:30I mean, that's a stretch because I'm not sure everybody, I've got a printer, but I'm not sure.
00:35Of course you have, yeah.
00:36I love to print things.
00:37I do not. See, the yin and yang of the relationships coming out here.
00:41I'm much older than you.
00:43So it's the Household Emergency Plan, which is supposed to fill in things like your agreed meeting point
00:48for your family outside the house.
00:50I mean, my family can't agree on an agreed meeting point in the house.
00:53So good luck to us with that.
00:55And then you've got your important, these, you know, boxes that you can fill in, your important numbers
01:00for people you might need, including very cutely mobile and landline numbers.
01:05Presumably, once this is filled in, you should then laminate it with the laminator that you own at home.
01:10Do you?
01:10Do you? No!
01:12Oh my God. I think I might have to cancel this podcast. It's so embarrassing.
01:17My favourite bit of this form that we're supposed to all fill in is there's a section for radio stations.
01:21And you can, yeah, it says here, here you should make a note of the frequencies of any radio stations
01:26you use to get local or national news.
01:29So I think you're supposed to write down the radio frequency.
01:33And I'm not really sure how this works because you can actually just tune, if you remember, do you remember
01:37radios?
01:39You can like tune a radio and you go past the stations you don't want to listen to and you
01:43land on the one you want.
01:44But this has got an extra contingency that you don't accidentally end up getting in use from, I don't know,
01:50Heart FM.
01:51But you can get God's good BBC on your...
01:54The other weird thing for me with this is that, you know, in a sort of nuclear apocalypse, paper is
02:00notoriously not sort of fireproof.
02:02So you can write all this down and then you may as well, a bit like, unless it's Father Christmas,
02:06just send it up the chimney.
02:07Maybe you learn it by heart. Tattoo it.
02:09Yes.
02:10Tattoo it to yourself.
02:11Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who needs to do an art resuscitate order? You can just have this, your emergency FM tattooed
02:17to your chest.
02:18Then there's a list of emergency supplies that you should have in your house, which are battery or wind-up
02:23torch, portable power bank for charging a mobile phone.
02:27I mean, yeah, which of us has got those charged up?
02:29Battery or wind-up radio, spare batteries for the above. Nice, like that.
02:33Not just a battery radio, but also the spares. That's the sort of planning I can get on board with.
02:38First aid kit, wet wipes, hand sanitizer, bottled water, non-perishable food and baby supplies, which is on all of
02:46the lists for everyone.
02:46So, you never know.
02:49I don't have a baby at the moment, but I'm still going to have to have nappies and formula.
02:53But you might have to just eat out of those little jars going forward.
02:56Maybe formula is the thing you need.
02:57I was just thinking, sort of going through the Rolodex in my mind, I don't have any of those things
03:01to hand in my house.
03:03So, you need to get on it.
03:04I don't have a baby at the moment, I don't have a baby at the moment, but I don't have
03:04a baby at the moment, but I don't have a baby at the moment, but I don't have a baby
03:04at the moment, but I don't have a baby at the moment, but I don't have a baby at the
03:04moment, but I don't have a baby at the moment.
