It seems that the apocalypse is getting closer, or at least a big blackout. The Austrian government considers this danger so real that it is preparing its population to know how to survive in the event of a failure in the supply of electricity infrastructure in Europe.
Due to the alteration in the frequency of the electricity supply due to the imbalance in the demands, the Austrian authorities have taken action on the matter. Through a series of messages, which can be seen in the main media and on the streets of cities throughout the country, the government recommends its citizens to collect material and food to survive for about two weeks. Specifically, every house should not lack: fuel, candles, batteries, canned food and drinking water.
Along with these reservations, the authorities consider it just as important that citizens establish a network of cooperation with family members and neighbors, to prevent anyone from being left isolated.
In a highly digitized era, stopping traffic lights, computers, ATMs, telephones, and the Internet, among other services, to stop working represents a great danger. For this reason, the Austrian government has set out to make about 100 of its main military headquarters self-sufficient to the greatest degree possible by 2025.
As Lieutenant Colonel Pierre Kugelweis explained to the EFE news agency, in the event of a major blackout, the barracks will serve as a support base for civil organizations, such as firefighters and health workers.
