Cape Town 3 days, no national figure

Read thisThe national government's flood advice lists items to pack with no duration, and the Western Cape's Grab-and-Go kit has no number. Eskom's Koeberg calendar for 2026 tells people within 16 km they may be away for a few days, and gives no supply figure.

The three days is Cape Town's guidance. The national pages we could read give no number of days.

“You should have enough supplies on hand for you and your family to survive for at least three days during a disaster.”
