There is little you can do about the flood itself, but you can certainly influence the consequences for your own walls, your environment, and your own life. If a flood has been declared in your area, there is often still time to take action.
Flood is coming. You can do it at home.
Finally, in the event of an emergency, never stay in your basement during a flood. Rising water can quickly become life-threatening. More information about personal flood protection can be found online at https://www.bbk.bund.de.
Documents, emergency supplies, emergency baggage – and other important things
Taking into account the situation in Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic, Fritz-Helge Voß of the Bavarian regional association of the Technical Aid Agency (THW) advised ZDF on Monday morning to stock up on emergency supplies. After all, power outages are always a possibility in flood zones. But what should be included in emergency supplies?
Additional information about emergency supplies, emergency pharmacy, emergency luggage, document folders, etc. can be found on the BBK online at https://www.bbk.bund.de. You can also order printed brochures for further reading.
In addition to adequate food and water, you should also think about emergency medicine and important documents. Photo: Christine Close/dpa-tmn
