Respondents were asked about their contingency planning in case of events that could severely impact normal services. The findings show that 15% of people have kept a reserve of banknotes and coins specifically for emergencies. Half of those surveyed have battery-powered items like torches readily available, and nearly half maintain a supply of tinned foods including baked beans and canned fruit.
