Over the last little while I've been seeing reports circulating through both mainstream media and social media claiming that governments around the world are encouraging their citizens to keep emergency supplies at home.

Germany caught my attention first. Then I started seeing similar stories involving Russia, Iran and Turkey. Depending on the report, people were supposedly being encouraged to have anywhere from a couple of weeks to potentially a month or more of food, water and other provisions available.

And that's what got me wondering: why now?

Obviously, being prepared for an emergency isn't a bad idea. Earthquakes happen. Floods happen. Power grids can fail. Major storms and other disasters can temporarily interrupt food, water and transportation.

But when several stories like this start appearing around the same time, I think it's reasonable to ask whether there's something larger behind the renewed emphasis on preparedness.

Are governments simply updating old civil-defense plans?

Are they responding to terrorism, natural disasters and infrastructure vulnerabilities?

Or are officials seeing potential international instability that ordinary people aren't paying much attention to yet?

I'm not claiming that I know the answer. That's why I'm putting the question to everyone watching.

If you're in Germany, Russia, Turkey, Iran or somewhere else where you've heard government officials talking about emergency preparedness, let us know exactly what you've been told.

Maybe there's nothing unusual happening at all. But either way, having some emergency food, drinking water and basic supplies around the house probably isn't the worst idea.

What do you think? Routine emergency preparedness—or were governments preparing for something bigger?
