Not breaking news.

This is a humor/opinion column by Emma Brockes in The Guardian's opinion section, not a breaking news story. It riffs on a UK government emergency preparedness campaign (the 'Prepare' initiative) by humorously describing the author's own inadequate stockpiling efforts.
No actual emergency, disaster, or time-sensitive event is being reported here. This is commentary/lifestyle writing that uses apocalyptic preparation as a comedic framing device.
