Protection of critical infrastructures (hospitals, water supply, transport network)

Hospitals, water supply systems and the transport network must be protected separately. Emergency power generators and independent energy storage systems are essential. Hospitals should have prioritised energy sources in order to be able to continue to supply patients.

Increasing the resilience of power grids: Smart grids and decentralised energy sources

The resilience of the power supply can be improved through smart grids and decentralised energy generation. The use of battery storage in households and companies can bridge grid outages and balance load peaks.

Cooperation between governments, energy suppliers and companies

Close cooperation between governments, energy suppliers and companies is essential in order to improve prevention measures and recovery concepts. Regular emergency drills and coordinated strategies help to respond more quickly in the event of an emergency.
