German Disaster Official Recommends Stockpiling ‘Several Crates’ Of Water, Canned Food<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

The head of Germany’s Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief (BBK), Ralph Tiesler,\u00a0has warned citizens to prepare for short-term power outages, particularly in January and February, and to\u00a0stock up on rations<\/a>\u00a0in advance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“We have to assume that there will be blackouts this winter<\/strong>. By that, I mean a regional and temporary interruption in the power supply.\u00a0The cause will not only be energy shortages, but also the targeted, temporary shutdown of the networks by the operators<\/strong>, with the aim of protecting the networks and not endangering the overall supply,” Tiesler told the news outlet\u00a0Welt am Sonntag<\/em><\/a>, adding that local authorities in several German municipalities are preparing for the possibility of blackouts, and have developed ‘precise plans’ that include procuring emergency generators to support the system.<\/p>\n

That said, some municipalities are not prepared – and despite German gas storage facilities being near capacity, experts don’t think the stockpile will be enough to last the country through the winter due to a lack of new supply from Russia.<\/p>\n

“We expect short-term blackouts rather than long-lasting, large-scale blackouts.\u00a0But good preparation is important for that, too,<\/strong>” Tiesler added.<\/p>\n

What to do?\u00a0Stock up…<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Primarily water, several crates, and canned food.\u00a0That would be enough for ten days.<\/strong>\u00a0That’s what my agency recommends\u2026 Our message is: prepare in the first place.\u00a0Be prepared for possible crises, don’t assume that everything will be readily available all the time<\/strong>,” Tiesler stated, adding that residents should also purchase\u00a0battery-powered radios and candles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Germany’s energy woes stem from a drop in gas supplies from Russia, after an ill-advised scheme to shut off their nuclear power plants. The flow of gas was cut off much earlier than expected over Ukraine-related sanctions, as well as explosions in September which rendered the Nord Stream 1 pipeline inoperable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
