Read thisThe site says the 72-hour rule does not apply where serious danger threatens.

The Czech '72 hodin' project advises keeping emergency supplies for 72 hours at home. The Interior Ministry delivered 5.2 million handbooks to household letterboxes during November 2025.

“Proto je dobré připravit se předem a mít doma nachystané nouzové zásoby na 72 hodin.”

It is therefore good to prepare in advance and have emergency supplies for 72 hours ready at home.
