Germany has told its citizens to stock up on water and food in the event of a terrorist attack or national catastrophe and be ready to support the military in the country's first overhaul of civil defenses for two decades.
Chancellor Angela Merkel's cabinet approved the 70-page plan at a time when Germans are particularly on edge after two Islamist militant attacks in July and several much larger-scale, deadly assaults in France and Belgium this year.
The German word for stocking up on provisions in case of an emergency is "Hamsterkaeufe" and some media have mocked the plan for encouraging Germans to hoard like the small, furry animals.
Although the plan was commissioned in 2012, security is shaping up into a major campaign issue before two regional votes next month and next year's federal election. Proposed measures include boosting spending on police and a ban on the burqa, the all-concealing garment worn by some Muslim women.
The strategy unveiled on Wednesday outlines precautionary steps for scenarios such as terrorism and chemical weapons and cyber attacks.

Heil Merkel!
Got a garage full of these babies. I'm set.
I have a box of staples here. At the rate I’m using them, they will still be here when the Sun explodes into a supernova.
Staples, paper clips, erasers...
Hamsterkauf, hamster sneeze.
Germany is building its own culture of “survivalists”, perhaps copying much from the survivalists in that territory on the North American continent once known as “the United States of America”.
Germany is coming ever closer to reverting to their former status of becoming a vast collection of small principalities and kingdoms, only without the kings and princes, but as republics.
Becoming the Soviet Republics of Germany has certainly stopped working. Especially after they started importing an invasion force at their invitation.
don’t forget the glitter-glue
Man, that’s some serious preppin’!
There will be no loosely-bound, multi-page, wimpy-paper-clipped notes on the loose!
I got my red stapler...
[from the survivalists in that territory on the North American continent once known as the United States of America.]
I remember that country. I think it died in 2008. That’s when the Communists took over.
Funny - Merkel brings in terrorists by the bus load, then says, “Prepare for terror.”
She must be a graduate of the barack obama school of political leadership.
The Huns are going to retaliate against the invaders in short season. I bet that basements and attics are loaded with WW2 relics. After all, they did find a working Panther tank in some guys basement a few months ago.
Now that Germany has let terrorists into the country...that’s all they can do! Just live scared and hope for the best? Isn’t socialism grand?
1st Hamster Div. Leibstandarte Angela Merkel
of ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD Germany could have imported,
Merkel had to pick the Moslems! who are trained from birth to hate and wish to murder Christians and Jews
More and more, Merkel and Hillary seem too much alike.
So this woman welcomes a million terrorist into Germany and then tells the Germans they better stock up on food and stuff. What a flaming fool she is.
