infrastructures, information must be available to the hazard 
control authorities on the facilities and on undertaken and 
planned measures. In turn, these authorities must implement 
the scenarios in their own alarm and hazard control plans. 
The following recommendations apply with regard to 
measures to limit the consequences of the above-mentioned 
events: 
In their own interest, operators of facilities and 
installations which are not subject to extended statutory 
obligations such as the Störfallverordnung Ordinance on 
Major Incidents, but which have been established to be 
security-critical, should also contact the hazard control 
authorities forthwith and furnish the necessary information 
to enable the drafting of external alarm and hazard control 
plans. The immission control and hazard control 
authorities should consult one another for the purpose of 
identifying such potentially security-critical facilities.

On the basis of the information available from the 
operators, the competent hazard control authorities 
should draw up the necessary external alarm and 
hazard control plans 
for the protection of the population 
forthwith. 
Action plans 
to be applied in case of disasters should be 
drawn up and revised on a regular basis (e.g. telephone 
lists, allocation of responsibilities, procedures). This area 
of work also includes preparations for effectively 
functioning crisis communications.
A reporting centre should be set up. Personnel who will 
come together in the event of a crisis are to be appointed 
and kept available. Appropriate premises are also 
required. These should be secured against external 
influences and equipped with functioning communications 
facilities.
