Civil protection in Germany is facing major challenges. Experts warn that the current structures and resources are not sufficient to effectively protect the population in the event of a crisis. Deficiencies exist in particular in terms of funding, staffing and crisis coordination.
The German government is planning to strengthen civil protection with funds from a new special fund. However, critics doubt that the planned funds will be sufficient to remedy the existing deficits. What is urgently needed is investment in emergency shelters, better equipment for disaster relief workers and a modernized infrastructure.
Experts are calling for a comprehensive reorganization of civil protection. In addition to financial resources, structural reforms are also needed to define responsibilities more clearly and ensure better coordination between the authorities. Only in this way can Germany be better prepared for future crises.
