In Germany, the Federal Ministry of the Interior, headed by acting Minister Nancy Feather, supported the idea of preparing young people in schools for crisis situations and the possibility of war. The ministry also advises Germans to stock up on food, water and essential items, writes UNN with reference to Spiegel.
In connection with the latest security developments, more attention should be paid to civil defense, including in school education
The German Interior Ministry noted that the federal states are responsible for "determining the content of education" in schools. Nevertheless, the federal government and the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief are ready to help with "materials for young people and teachers."
The agency also welcomed the recently presented initiative of the European Commission to "prepare for war-related crises." Germans were also advised to stock up on water, food and other essential goods.
Having a supply of at least 72 hours is a good way to cope with temporary crisis situations
For his part, CDU security policy expert Roderich Kiesewetter proposed holding crisis training for schoolchildren.
It is necessary to practice actions in emergency situations, as schoolchildren are particularly vulnerable and suffer especially in emergency situations
In his opinion, "basic training in emergency behavior" should also be introduced.
This would also be sensible and forward-looking from a public relations point of view
Addition
The European Commission recommends that all citizens of the European Union have food and water supplies for at least 72 hours in case of a crisis. Europeans are advised to be prepared for a possible war, large-scale cyberattack, epidemic or flood.
