Magdeburg (dpa/sa) - The police in Saxony-Anhalt have taken precautions in the event of an emergency in the energy crisis. As Interior Minister Tamara Zieschang (CDU) told the "Mitteldeutsche Zeitung", the state police have been preparing for possible power outages for months. "Even for longer-lasting failures." Appropriate emergency power generators and diesel stocks are intended to secure operations.
The CDU politician also called on the other ministries in the country to take measures in their areas. In the current situation "it would be negligent not to prepare. Citizens can rightly expect that both the state and operators of critical infrastructures will prepare for scenarios."
Zieschang said citizens should also take precautions. Everyone must ask themselves whether they have enough water, food, medicine and a battery-operated radio at home so that they can listen to the news in the event of a power outage. "Every individual is called upon to do so."
