Emergency preparedness & crisis situations
Whether it's a power cut, severe weather or other crisis situations - good preparation helps you to remain capable of acting in an emergency. On this page you will find important tips and information on personal emergency preparedness and the correct behavior in extraordinary situations.
Preparation for emergencies and crises
There are numerous crises that can occur completely unexpectedly. In such situations, rescue and emergency services cannot help all companies, facilities or citizens at the same time. This is precisely why early and careful preparation is vital.
If you inform yourself in good time, draw up emergency plans and have important supplies ready, you can react quickly and independently in an emergency. These include, for example, water and food supplies, battery-powered lighting, important documents to hand and coordination within the family or household. Knowledge of what to do in specific emergencies - such as floods, fires or power cuts - also plays a key role in reducing risks and ensuring safety.
By being well prepared, you not only protect yourself, but also those around you. Every precautionary measure can save lives in an emergency, make it easier to provide care and reduce the burden on emergency services. Preparation is therefore a key component in managing crises consciously and safely.
