The power is out - now what?

Suddenly the power is out, everything dark, no heating and internet is also out. This is a blackout and just happened in Spain and Portugal. How should one act and what should one have done beforehand? Answers to this can be found in the Austrian Armed Forces info folder (in German language).

The most important point is to be prepared. It is recommended to have enough durable food, essential medications, and water for 14 days. From our own experience, we can say that food is the smaller problem. As for water, if you calculate two liters per day per person, that's already 30 liters per head. A very successful info folder, which encourages further reflection, in our opinion.
