Raimonds Bergmanis calls for improved crisis preparedness

Politician Raimonds Bergmanis has emphasized the necessity of changing public mindset regarding crisis preparedness following recent summer storms. During a discussion, Bergmanis highlighted the importance of practical readiness, such as maintaining water reserves, having cash on hand, and owning battery-operated radios to receive information during power outages.

Bergmanis noted that while the summer timing of recent weather events mitigated systemic impact, a similar crisis in winter would have much more severe consequences. He stressed the interconnectedness of electricity, communication, and fuel availability, suggesting that individuals must evaluate their personal preparedness to better face future emergencies.
