The VG Kallmünz has drawn up an emergency plan to issue potassium iodide tablets to citizens up to 45 years of age in the event of a disaster.
Disaster protection: Kallmünz issues potassium iodide tablets
VG Kallmünz has launched a new emergency plan that regulates the distribution of potassium iodide tablets in the event of a disaster. This plan is intended to ensure that the population is provided with the necessary medication quickly and efficiently in an emergency.
Potassium iodide tablets are important when a nuclear emergency or radiological incident occurs. They help protect the thyroid from absorbing radioactive iodine by providing non-radioactive iodine. This is particularly crucial when radioactive iodine is released into the environment as it poses health risks.
Who receives the tablets?
The distribution of potassium iodide tablets is aimed at all citizens between the ages of 0 and 45. People over 45 generally have a lower risk, which is why they are not included in the distribution. This is a preventative measure to protect the health of the younger population.
The emergency plans are available for inspection in the Kallmünz administration building, room 10. Citizens are invited to find out about the exact procedures and information in order to be well prepared in an emergency.
For further details, a comprehensive emergency plan is also available and can be accessed online. This allows citizens to familiarize themselves with the necessary information in advance and prepare for possible emergencies.
With this step, VG Kallmünz shows that it is reacting proactively to potential dangers and taking the safety of its citizens seriously. The distribution of potassium iodide tablets is an important part of a comprehensive disaster response plan aimed at ensuring the health and safety of the population.
