Tension at the border continues even after the ceasefire agreement. Pakistan has broken the agreement and is launching attacks again. Will the government take strong action in response? The answer is still unknown. Armies on both sides are fully prepared. The situation can get worse at any time.

In such uncertain times, it’s important to stay safe and stay in touch with loved ones. Here are 5 must-have items you should always keep ready in case of emergency:

During war or blackouts, mobile networks and internet services may fail. A battery-powered or hand-crank radio can be a lifeline, providing updates from the government and military. Look for a model with solar charging and a built-in flashlight for extra convenience.

Power cuts are very common during disasters. To keep your device running, a solar power bank is a smart choice. Even without electricity, you can charge your phone using sunlight.

Clean drinking water might be hard to find during emergencies. Keep a portable water purifier like LifeStraw or a UV-based purifier with you. This helps you stay healthy by removing harmful germs from water.

During blackouts or curfews, you may be in the dark for hours. A rechargeable LED light or solar lantern will help you move around safely and do basic tasks in the dark.

Always keep a basic medical kit with you. It should include:

• Antiseptic
• Bandages
• Common medicines
• A thermometer
• An oximeter to check oxygen levels
  Hospitals may be overcrowded during crises, so be ready to handle minor health issues at home.

We hope such situations never come. But being prepared can help you and your family stay safe. Keep these 5 items close during any emergency. Stay alert, stay safe!
