With a new emergency stock calculator, the federal government and retailers want to encourage the Swiss to put together an emergency reserve. The National Economic Supply (NES) has launched a corresponding information campaign, it announced on Tuesday.
The new emergency stock calculator can therefore be used to create an individual shopping list for products that should be kept in stock.
The campaign also includes personalized advice for young parents and pet owners, according to the press release.
The coronavirus pandemic and the extreme weather events in various parts of Switzerland in 2024 showed that unexpected situations could arise at any time. The emergency stockpile is a simple and very effective measure in the event of a crisis, according to the WL. It could ensure independence of supply for a few days.
The campaign is being carried out by the National Economic Supply in cooperation with the retail trade. According to the press release, the cantons are also supporting the initiative.
