In view of the war in Ukraine, Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) is raising public awareness of the importance of emergency supplies.

Berlin – Since the first corona lockdown on March 22, 2020, emergency supplies have played a greater role in purchasing planning than before.

Now, in view of the ongoing war in Ukraine, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) is advising citizens to take precautions in the event of a crisis.

These could be helpful in different scenarios: "Think, for example, of cyber attacks on critical infrastructure," said the SPD politician to the Handelsblatt.

The Federal Minister made it clear how important emergency supplies can be in the event that important structures fail.

"If the power goes out for a longer period of time or daily life is restricted in some other way, then it definitely makes sense to have an emergency supply at home." In this context, Faeser referred to a list published by the Federal Office for Civil Protection.

This states, for example, that the household should have a supply of food and drink for at least ten days.

Nancy Faeser on Shelters: "Makes sense if we reactivate some of them"

At the same time, the minister emphasized the importance of civil protection.

She gives it a "high priority".

“We have to get up to speed here in order to be able to cope with the many crises – pandemics, the consequences of climate change, the dangers of war.” It must be examined which protective measures are necessary.

She also pointed out the weaknesses of civil protection.

She wants to have the sirens tested nationwide on a warning day.

This not only affects technical issues, "but also supplies for food, medicines or medical supplies".

In Germany there are still 599 shelters.

There are also some that are used for other purposes today.

"It makes sense if we reactivate some of them," Faeser said.
