EU raises the alarm: Create your emergency supply now!

Deutschland - The European Union presented a comprehensive emergency plan on April 7, 2025, which consists of 30 measures to prepare the member states for various crises. As part of this initiative, the population is asked to create an emergency supply for at least three days. These recommendations are intended to ensure that citizens can react quickly and effectively to threats such as cyber attacks, natural disasters or information manipulation. Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, emphasizes the urgency and the need for increased precautionary measures to strengthen the resilience of the companies.

Germany in particular goes on in its recommendations. While the EU proposes a period of three days for the emergency supply, Germany recommends creating supplies for up to ten days. This underlines the growing awareness of the need to be well prepared.

recommendations for the emergency supply

The Federal Office for Population Protection and Disaster aid has published specific guidelines that represent the basis of an effective emergency stock. The recommended stocks include:

• 20 liters of water per person
• daily energy supply of around 2200 calories
• 3.5 kg of grain products, rice or potatoes
• 4 kg of vegetables and legumes in doses
• 2.5 kg fruit
• 2.6 kg dairy products
• 1.5 kg meat, fish and eggs

In addition, the importance of hygiene products is emphasized in order to secure the well -being of the population in crisis situations. In addition to nutrition, the Federal Office also recommends putting together an emergency case that includes essential documents, medication, clothing, a sleeping bag and a pocket knife. These measures were developed to ensure that the population can act quickly and effectively in crisis situations.

crisis management and responsibility

The comprehensive recommendations of the EU and the specific proposals in Germany help to strengthen crisis management in Europe. Citizens are encouraged to actively prepare for potential emergencies.

Overall, this step not only symbolizes a reaction to current threats, but also a forward -looking measure to promote the resilience of society and to ensure the security of citizens.
