Aug 22, 2016 – 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. <br /> <br />“The population will be obliged to hold an individual supply of food for ten days,” the newspaper quoted the government’s “Concept for Civil Defense” – which has been prepared by the Interior Ministry – as saying. <br /> <br />People will be required to stockpile enough drinking water to last for five days, according to the plan, the paper said. <br /> <br />The 69-page report does not see an attack on Germany’s territory, which would require a conventional style of national defense, as likely. <br /> <br />However, the precautionary measures demand that people “prepare appropriately for a development that could threaten our existence and cannot be categorically ruled out in the future,” the paper cited the report as saying. <br /> <br />Read more here. <br />http://marygreeley.com/?page_id=34871
