Information booklet
All households in the Netherlands have received the information booklet: Prepare for an emergency. It contains practical tips on how to survive for 72 hours if, for example, there is no electricity, water or internet. If you have not received the booklet or have lost it, you can pick one up at the GemeenteLoket, Mosae Forum 10 in Maastricht. You can also download the booklet from the Denk Vooruit website. This website also features a visual summary, translations and explanations in sign language and simple language.
In the Netherlands, we almost always have electricity, water and internet. But in an emergency, such as extreme weather, war or a major outage, those supplies could suddenly fail. It might take a little while for help to arrive. So it’s smart to be properly prepared. That requires action from everyone: from the government, but also from you and those around you. By preparing properly, you can help yourself and others if the need arises. This website and the 'Information booklet: prepare for an emergency situation' tells you how to do that.
