Title: Germany to tell people to stockpile food and water in case of attacks: FAS
Post by: BlueStateSaint on August 22, 2016, 08:07:29 AM
In conjunction with the story about old Russians stockpiling supplies for a war . . . Maybe the Germans know something is about to happen.  Ukraine Independence Day is, as I write this, two days away . . . With 40,000 Russian troops on their borders.

Germany to tell people to stockpile food and water in case of attacks: FAS

BERLIN (Reuters) - For the first time since the end of the Cold War, the German government plans to tell citizens to stockpile food and water in case of an attack or catastrophe, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper reported on Sunday.

Germany is currently on high alert after two Islamist attacks and a shooting rampage by a mentally unstable teenager last month. Berlin announced measures earlier this month to spend considerably more on its police and security forces and to create a special unit to counter cyber crime and terrorism.

"The population will be obliged to hold an individual supply of food for ten days," the newspaper quoted the government's "Concept for Civil Defence" - which has been prepared by the Interior Ministry - as saying.

The paper said a parliamentary committee had originally commissioned the civil defense strategy in 2012.

A spokesman for the Interior Ministry said the plan would be discussed by the cabinet on Wednesday and presented by the minister that afternoon. He declined to give any details on the content.

I'd take the German government's guidelines as a nice place to start stockpiling.  The rest of the article is here:
