guide for emergency provision
With regard to disaster cases, the Federal Office for Citizens' Protection and Disaster Aid (BBK) offers a valuable brochure entitled "Disaster alarm!". This brochure provides advice that deals with emergency provision and the right behavior in emergency situations. This includes comprehensive recommendations and checklists for different scenarios that help to react adequately to unexpected emergency situations.The relevance of such advice is particularly emphasized by recent events in Germany. After heavy rainfalls in 2021, which caused fall floods and floods in several regions, the need for well -founded preparation have become apparent. The hurricane "Friederike" in 2018, which withdrawn numerous people, also illustrated the power supply, illustrates the urgency of these recommendations. The BBK advisor encourages citizens to create personal emergency plans and have a supply of food and drinks for at least three days. Larger supplies of up to ten days increase security in times of crisis, whereby individual needs and storage options should be observed.
preparation is crucial
The said events of the VHS Oberberg and the information from the brochure are crucial steps to bring the importance of the disaster prevention closer. In view of the state assistance system, which cannot work everywhere at the same time, it is essential that citizens prepare themselves and their relatives for emergency situations. Self -help in times of crisis can be crucial until official help arrives.
