[EU Emergency Guidelines Recommend Stockpiling Cash and Available Offline Payment Methods] According to a report by DeepFlow TechFlow on November 4th, emergency guidelines released by the European Commission recommend that households prepare for at least 72 hours of crisis response and stockpile cash and available offline digital payment methods to meet essential household purchasing needs. The guidelines recommend stockpiling small denomination banknotes and coins in case of digital payment system failures; offline digital payment methods may include a future offline digital euro. The document also recommends preparing supplies such as food, drinking water, medicine, lighting, and devices for receiving information. These guidelines are not legally binding and are intended to help member states develop emergency measures tailored to their national circumstances.
