In the Netherlands, we almost always have electricity, water, and internet. But in an emergency, such as extreme weather, war, or a major outage, these can suddenly disappear. Help can then take a while. That's why it's smart to be well prepared. This requires action from everyone: the government, but also from you and your community. By being well prepared, you can help yourself and others when needed. This website explains how to do that.

What you do today makes us stronger tomorrow. Thinking ahead isn't a fearful reaction; it prevents panic. Those who are prepared are stronger, keep a cool head, and can also make a difference for others. And that starts at home: have an emergency kit, create an emergency plan, talk about it, and help each other.

Because if you take the first step now, you're not just helping yourself. You're contributing to a resilient society. Together, we can ensure we can help each other in an emergency. And that's something to be proud of. So think about what matters to you when the time comes and take action. How prepared are you?
