To protect yourself and your loved ones, it pays to prepare for crises in advance. A well thought-out plan, having the essential supplies and taking informed action can help ensure a sense of security even when daily life is temporarily disrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crisis preparedness isn't just about stockpiling - it's equally important to think about how to deal with your family in an emergency, how to stay in touch, where to get information and when it makes sense to stay at home or evacuate. Everyone can make an important contribution to their own safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you will find guidance and advice on how to assess risks, make a family crisis plan, stock up on essentials and cope with situations where electricity, water or communications are temporarily out of order.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the mobile app <strong>\"Get ready!\"<\/strong> and from the website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olevalmis.ee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.olevalmis.ee<\/a> <span class=\"wp-rich-text-font-awesome-icon wp-font-awesome-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"arrow-up-right-from-square\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-arrow-up-right-from-square\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M320 0c-17.7 0-32 14.3-32 32s14.3 32 32 32l82.7 0L201.4 265.4c-12.5 12.5-12.5 32.8 0 45.3s32.8 12.5 45.3 0L448 109.3l0 82.7c0 17.7 14.3 32 32 32s32-14.3 32-32l0-160c0-17.7-14.3-32-32-32L320 0zM80 32C35.8 32 0 67.8 0 112L0 432c0 44.2 35.8 80 80 80l320 0c44.2 0 80-35.8 80-80l0-112c0-17.7-14.3-32-32-32s-32 14.3-32 32l0 112c0 8.8-7.2 16-16 16L80 448c-8.8 0-16-7.2-16-16l0-320c0-8.8 7.2-16 16-16l112 0c17.7 0 32-14.3 32-32s-14.3-32-32-32L80 32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>find different guidelines for preparing for and responding to crisis situations.

It is therefore worth having alternative solutions in stock, such as bin liners or a dry toilet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"soojus\">Providing heat&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your home's heating system runs on electricity, it's worth considering alternative solutions. If you are relying on central heating, it is worth checking with your local authority or service provider how it works during outages. If your home has a stove, fireplace or wood-burning stove, make sure they are in good working order and use heating sparingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there are no independent heaters, you can use just one room to keep warm, close doors and windows and seal off any places where heat can escape. If a gas radiator or other alternative heating appliance is available, it must be used in accordance with the instructions and fire safety requirements. If a generator is available, it is a good idea to check that it is in working order and that it has sufficient fuel before a crisis. If it gets too cold in your home, consider moving in with relatives or friends temporarily, or ask your local authority for help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toiduvarud\">Food stocks&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Household stocks should contain foods that can be consumed without heating. In addition, a barbecue, camping stove or fireplace can be used, but fire safety rules must be observed. It is advisable to stock up on food that can be consumed daily and that can be kept in circulation, as well as food for pets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of products with a longer shelf life and easy consumption include canned goods, litter, nuts, muesli bars and biscuits. It should be remembered that live fires should not be left unattended and camping stoves or barbecues should only be used outdoors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"side-ja-maksmine\">Communication and payment facilities&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event of a longer power cut, ATMs and card payments may stop working. It is therefore a good idea to keep some cash at home to cover essential expenses for at least a week. A small cash reserve in your wallet can also be useful in unexpected situations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Battery banks should be kept charged to charge your phone or other devices when needed. It's worth using them sparingly to extend battery life. In a crisis, important information can be obtained via a battery or dynamo powered radio, as well as a car radio - to do this, keep the car's fuel tank at least half full. National announcements are broadcast on ERR channels and Vikeradio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"korteriuhistutele\">For housing associations&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Crisis preparedness of housing associations is essential to ensure the safety and comfort of residents in unexpected situations.
