The BBC has prepared “secret scripts” that could be read to the public if power shortages cause blackouts or gas supply cuts during the winter, The Guardian reported on Tuesday.

According to the outlet, these scripts indicate the way in which the BBC would reassure people in the event that a “major loss of energy” causes failures in mobile phone networks, Internet access, banking systems or traffic lights in the country. In addition, one of the drafts warns that a blackout could last up to two days, in which hospitals and the Police would be under “extreme pressure”.
