Streeting launches new push to prepare UK for emergencies and hostile acts

Defence Secretary Wes Streeting has launched a government initiative to enhance UK resilience against emergencies and hostile acts. Speaking at a tank gun barrel factory opening in the West Midlands, Streeting warned of state-sponsored terrorism targeting critical infrastructure. He urged the public to consider responses to hybrid warfare risks, including cyber-attacks on payment systems and supply chain collapses. Additionally, the national conversation on resilience encompasses natural risks, such as wildfires and flooding, to better prepare the country.
