Preparation is everything
Even though today's power outages are short and temporary, it is advisable for residents to be well prepared should a major power outage occur. The ZDF today provides information about important points of emergency preparedness. This includes creating a food supply for at least 3 to 10 days and sufficient drinking water - at least 20 liters per person is recommended. These measures help you to be well prepared at all times, be it floods, power outages or other crises.
The Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief (BBK) advocates early planning and recommends, among other things, putting together an emergency backpack. This should contain important medication, first aid supplies and even a battery-operated radio and is inexpensive to create yourself.
