The federal government recommends citizens to always be prepared for emergencies.
Fire, evacuation, flood - there are many reasons to have a fully filled survival backpack at hand.

Are you one of those people who are currently watching the news and political developments with concern?
That's how it is for many Germans and you're slowly starting to think about how to proceed and make provisions for the event of a disaster.
The recommendations of the Federal Ministry are more relevant than ever these days.
Because the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) generally recommends always having a ready-packed emergency backpack at hand for emergencies.
Whether it's a fire, evacuation due to leaking gas lines or rapidly rising flood waters: An emergency can happen to anyone at any time.
Then every second counts and a ready-packed emergency backpack with the essentials for up to three days can make the difference between helpless and planned.
Buy a filled emergency backpack or pack it yourself?
Basically, of course, any larger backpack is suitable for packing it with the appropriate contents for emergency supplies.
However, you should keep in mind that all utensils bought individually are much more expensive than the set price.
High-quality medical products in particular cost a lot of money individually in the pharmacy, and dry food or special lamps can be just as expensive.
In addition, emergency backpacks packed by professionals really do meet the requirements of a crisis situation - and you save yourself the tedious task of working through a checklist for packing an emergency backpack.
The value for money therefore clearly speaks in favor of buying a survival backpack that is already filled
Personal documents: you need to remember this
A ready-filled emergency backpack contains the most important items for a quick escape from home.
What is of course missing in ready-made emergency backpacks: your personal documents!
That's why you should always have papers, ID cards, etc. to hand.
We have summarized what these are and how best to put them together in our document checklist.
Not all emergency backpacks are the same!
If you search for an emergency backpack or emergency backpack on the Internet, the first thing you will come across are backpacks with medical supplies.
These backpacks are similar to those used by paramedics and are equipped with essential medical supplies such as painkillers, bandages and disinfectant.
However, if you research further, you will also come across emergency backpacks that contain survival kits.
These so-called "survival backpacks" provide you and, depending on their size, three other people with everything you need beyond medical care for up to 72 hours.
However, they always come with a small first aid kit.
