On Wednesday, August 24, 2016, the German Government unveiled its civil defense plan advising citizens to stockpile food and water for use in a national emergency. Citizens are advised to store enough food to last them 10 days and five days’ water supply two liters (half a gallon) per person daily.
The proposal has generated controversial feedback, with comical responses on social media and accusations of being “scaremongering” from MPs.
While it is the first time we hear a recommendation to stockpile food and water on a national level of an EU country, the emergency plans are common for municipalities and being released and updated on a regular basis.

In terms of use, FDA-approved flexitanks are some of the most versatile products available for storing, collecting, and reusing potable water and non-potable liquid. Reusable bladders (storage flexitanks https://beflexi.com/beflexi-storage/) with capacity up to 200,000 liters can be used to supplement a municipal water supply system. They are reusable, take little space when folder (typically 2% of the maximum capacity size), they are easily installed and they do not require expensive and sophisticated site engineering.

The smaller configurations of storage flexitanks can be used for home water storage, installed in the backyards or under the deck of residential homes. Those tanks are extremely popular in Australia where periods of droughts may be quite extended, but their popularity is growing in other parts of the world.
Being prepared for an emergency can make a critical difference to the outcome of the situation.
