The Austrian Red Cross has a big wish. It wants 250 million euro every year. This money is for crisis care. This means: Get ready for bad events.
The money is not only for the Red Cross. It shall protect all important parts of the land. These are power, water and food. Also hospitals and the internet need protection. Michael Opriesnig is a boss at the Red Cross. He says: Money for the army is not enough.
The people must be strong. Gerald Schchffer is the president of the Red Cross. He names many dangers. These are wars and bad weather. Also a blackout is possible. This is a long power cut.
Citizens shall help themselves too. There are lists on the internet. An app helps in times of need. Germany is a good example. There is much money for human safety.
The Red Cross wants protection for helpers too. There are wars all over the world. Innocent people die often. The human law must stay strong. It protects people who do not fight.
