Practical Part:

Please devied in Groups of max. 6 Persons

We have learned about the specialties of the Hazard Control and Civil

Protection in the Federal System of Germany. The Civil Protection is

State responsibility, the Fire Protection is Community responsibility

both is not Federal responsibility!

Please discuss the following questions in your group:

What are the advantages of that local / regional

responsibility?

What are the disadvantages?

Please collect the results for both questions and be prepared for a

short presentation (max. 5 minutes).
