Denmark's authorities recommend that households can manage on their own for three days. A national campaign began in late November 2025, and a government pamphlet in February 2026 repeated the figure.

“Det er myndighedernes anbefaling, at du og din husstand kan klare jer selv i tre døgn, hvis en krise rammer.”

It is the authorities' recommendation that you and your household can manage on your own for three days if a crisis strikes.

    The three-day recommendation was announced at Folkemødet. Older crisis booklets exist from 1944, 1962 and 1983, so it is not the first advice of any kind.
