Germany prepares for disaster: Citizens asked to start storing food and water

Germany will encourage its citizens to start storing food, water and other supplies in case of a disaster or armed attack. This is the first time such measures have been considered since the end of the Cold War, reports the Patria News Agency.

The proposal is part of the government's civil defense development plan, which suggests that citizens collect and store enough food for 10 days, as well as appropriate amounts of water, energy sources, money and medicine, which would allow them to await government assistance.

Anxiety prevails in Germany due to the recent series of terrorist attacks and the more than a million refugees received last year.

The entire plan will be published on Wednesday, writes Deutsche Welle. Although it is estimated that a major attack on Germany is not likely, such a possibility cannot be completely ruled out, writes Index.
