Precautions for crises and disasters
Stand: 20.02.2026
Germany is one of the safest countries in the world. Nevertheless, even here there are crises that disrupt everyday routines. Extreme weather events are on the rise. Cyberattacks, disinformation and sabotage are attacking infrastructure, opinion-forming and cohesion.
If something happens, it's better to be prepared. That is why the city administration launched the new information series "Preparedness for crises and disasters" in January 2026. Every month, information on various hazardous situations and the correct behavior as well as an overview of how the city takes precautions is posted here and on social media channels.

Preparation helps in extreme situations: Knowing what to do, being able to look after yourself and others until help arrives and thus relieving the burden on emergency services. In its new guide, the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) provides information on various dangerous situations and gives tips and advice on how everyone can take private precautions in the event that everyday life is interrupted.
