It’s nothing out of the ordinary, really.
Here, check out this 2020 video detailing basically what the response is in case of a Russian attack on Finland. Or as the video says… “the enemy”. (Doesn’t once say Russia, but “an enemy from the east” and Finland only has one eastern neighbour…)

We had those when I was a kid :-) (Sweden)
kriis.ee in Estonia (i think)
”One of the most important recommendations is to keep enough food and drinking water for 72 hours.
But Ilmari Kaihko wonders whether that is practical for everyone.
“Where do you stash it if you have a big family living in a small apartment?”
I suspect you may end up with a smaller family, thereby making room for the water you didn’t have.
Is it really that difficult to have enough supplies just for 72 hours? You don’t even need any food for that short of a time, and you only really would need, what, 2 liters per person? Personally I drink a lot more than 1 liter of water per day, but in a crisis situation you’re gonna ration it
The goal of such recommendations is not to ensure people can survive 72 hours without access to additional supplies, but to ensure that the society as a whole can function at such a situation - that requires a lot more than just a drop of water and barely enough calories to stay alive. If the enemy can collapse your society just by destroying a couple of power plants and water treatment facilities, you’ve already lost the war. Or climate change, or blizzard or what ever it is you are facing.
That being said, I do agree that the food you store doesn’t need to be anything special or tasty - just something to keep you working your job and taking care of those that depend on you.
