At the end of 2025, the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) published a fundamentally revised guide "Precautions for crises and disasters".
The guide summarizes preparation and action recommendations for various emergency situations. If something happens, it is better to be prepared. The guide shows how every citizen can take simple steps to prepare for and cope with possible disruptions to everyday life or crises (e.g. power cuts, floods, extreme weather, disinformation or explosions).
The printed version of the guide can be ordered on the BBK website. There are also separate checklists available for download.
