National, with limits

Read thisThe national figure appears in a family plan template about leaving home. It is not a whole-home stock target, and press reports say there is no state campaign.

Spain has no national household stock figure that we could find. A national civil protection template describes a basic 72-hour kit for a family that has to stay away from home, and Catalonia runs its own 72-hour home kit campaign.

“KIT BÁSICO DE EMERGENCIAS (72 horas) El kit básico de emergencias incluye todas las cosas que la familia puede necesitar si tiene que permanecer fuera de casa durante varios días”

BASIC EMERGENCY KIT (72 hours) The basic emergency kit includes everything the family may need if it has to stay away from home for several days
