The booklet would include information on how to prepare a household survival kit including sufficient water and tinned food to last for three days, practical items to have to hand such as torches and batteries, and what to do in case of a nuclear strike, along with emergency contact details.

In an address earlier this month French president Emmanuel Macron urged the country to prepare to confront “Russian threats”.
