Information for emergencies

What to do when there is a fire? What impact does a prolonged power outage have on our everyday lives? How can reliable information be obtained in crises and disasters?

Emergencies and disasters can occur at any time and, above all, unexpectedly. Be it due to natural events, technical faults or other extraordinary situations.

The answers to these questions show how important early preparation is. Anyone who is informed about possible risks, warning systems and precautionary measures can take targeted action and protect themselves and others. Whether it's stocking up on supplies, having a first-aid kit or taking measures in the event of a power cut - every preparation helps to limit the consequences of crises and disasters.

    In crisis and emergency situations, important warnings and information are disseminated via various official channels. These include the federal government's NINA warning app with location-based push notifications as well as sirens, which use fixed signals to indicate dangerous situations and call for information to be obtained via radio and other media. Other information channels are also available to reliably warn and inform the population.

  • Blackout - information on prevention

    A widespread power outage can have a significant impact on public life and everyday life in private households. Important infrastructures such as heating, communication, supply and cash supply are then restricted or unavailable.
    Even if a large-scale blackout is currently considered unlikely, it is important to deal with emergency preparedness, self-help and the correct behavior in an emergency at an early stage.

  • Provision for emergencies

    Emergency situations can range from accidents and fires to severe storms, floods or the release of hazardous substances. Early preparation and suitable precautionary measures are crucial to limit the consequences of such events.
