The Austrian Minister of Defense warns about a possible current throughout Europe.
Klaudia Tanner, the Austrian Minister of Defense, warned of this almost apocalyptic scenario.After supervising maneuvers and military actions, there is a great possibility to interrupt electricity that will affect services such as computers, mobile phones and sources of electricity in housing.Until the current would not only take place in Austria, but would be spread throughout Europe.
What would you do if you were left without current two weeks?
According to Euroweeklynews, Klaudia Tanner said the question is not whether it will be a huge current interruption, but rather the question is "when it will be."She also stated that this danger is "underestimated by all" and that it could have catastrophic consequences.
In order to make the population more aware of this scenario, the Austrian government has decided to launch a awareness campaign that will take place during the month.Not only will it appear in the media, but thousands of posters have been distributed in the Austrian cities.The minister wanted to promote it on social networks.
The slogan of the campaign is "What to do when everything stops" and follows the population awareness about the measures to be taken when a power break of such magnitude takes place.
Tips on buying sufficient foods for a few days, candles, batteries and lots of drinking are provided.Another effective measure would be to agree on a meeting point with family and friends and try to collaborate as far as possible with neighbors.
This interruption from Current at the level of an entire continent can cause traffic lights, ATMs, phones and the Internet to stop working.It would not be the first time: this was already happening in 1989, in Quebec, Canada.Authorities have never confirmed any specific cause, simply suggesting that this may be due to technical defects, system failures or overloads.
