Earlier this year, the German government has formally revived official announcements that German households should stockpile food, water and vital stuff to hold out for 2-3 weeks in case of national emergencies. It has fallen out of vogue in past decades to do so - since the cold war ended. Cold war times werre the last times Germans were called to stockpile some reserves, and prepping was seen as exaggerated acting by hysteric drama queens in the past 25 years. For the same reaosn, the poublic wanrign siren systems has been dismantled in Germany, which would have been used to alarm the public in case of atomic or chemical disasters, or air attacks from Iwan's direction.

The need to stockpile reserves these days again, formally was founded on the worstening of Western relations to Russia. But I suspect it also serves another scenario: the economic turmoil and possible temporary breakdown of business and trade of supplies in case of currency problems, namely a collapse of the Euro system. More and more voices dare to leave their hiding and giving estimations that the Euro will not last for longer than another five years at max. I'm not sure, but it is possible, even realistic.

A breakdown of the digital basis of cashless financial transcations due to terror or military cyber attacks, also is a possible scenario.
