The Oberberg District, together with the municipalities, fire departments, aid organizations, and other partners, shares responsibility for the protection and safety of people in the district.
Key tasks include emergency medical services and fire, civil, and disaster protection.
The district plans and organizes emergency medical services, ensures structures are in place to manage major incidents and disasters, and coordinates the supra-regional deployment of forces and resources.
On these pages, you will also find important information for emergencies: How can you quickly get help? Which emergency number is the right one to call? And how can you prepare for emergencies yourself? Effective civil protection does not begin during an emergency — personal preparedness and correct behavior in an emergency contribute to everyone's safety.

In the Oberberg District, buildings have been defined to serve as contact points for the population in crisis situations — the so-called Emergency Information Points.
The Emergency Information Points are activated after the failure of mobile and landline networks due to a prolonged power outage.
