More than a third of the UK population (36 per cent) keeps a few essentials – or a ‘grab bag’ – ready in case disaster strikes, according to new research.

While food, medical supplies and mobiles phones were top of the list for a survival pack, not many people listed matches or a simple bottle among their essentials, according to the research.
