Staying safe in spite of a disaster. What can you do for your safety in the event of a disaster? In spring 2013, after weeks of rain, whole areas of southern, eastern and northern Germany were beset by catastrophic floods. Settlements vanished in the floods up to the roofs of the houses, tens of thousands of emergency personnel and volunteers struggled against the water with sandbags. Villages and parts of towns had to be evacuated, and the citizens were only able to take the essentials with them. Disasters are part of life. Almost every day, we can read about disasters and largescale emergencies in a variety of media and see the images of destruction and suffering. These are not just major disasters which affect large areas for a long time. Local torrential rain, a severe storm, an electric power breakdown resulting from such a storm, or a house fire can trigger a very personal disaster for each individual, each family, which has to be overcome. Take the time to contemplate your personal emergency planning. This brochure aims to help you to develop your personal preparedness plan. The brochure is also available in different languages: https://www.bbk.bund.de/DE/Service/Publikationen/Broschuerenfaltblaetter/Ratgeber_node.htm

Information note on chemical release No 1: Warning signs of a chemical release

World Health Organization (2017) C_WHO

A chemical release may not always be immediately apparent given the fact that many agents are odourless and colourless, and some cause no immediately noticeable effects or symptoms. Be alert to the possible presence of a chemical. Arabic version available: http://www.who.int/environmental_health_emergencies/deliberate_events/warning_signs_May2017_ar.pdf
