The Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) has published a comprehensively revised edition of its guide “Prepared for Emergencies and Disasters.” The brochure provides practical preparedness and response recommendations for a range of emergency and crisis situations. It also includes detailed checklists to help individuals prepare – for example for power outages, extreme weather events, or other disruptions to daily life. Its aim is to better inform the public and encourage personal preparedness.
The guide is now available free of charge in English as PDF and can be downloaded or ordered. It is intended for all households wishing to prepare for potential emergencies. The publication recommends ensuring self-sufficiency for several days and becoming familiar with key preparedness measures.
