Read thisThe federal wording is on a blackout page. Broader stock advice comes from civil-protection associations.
Austria's federal portal advises food and water for at least 10 to 14 days, on a page about blackouts. Until spring 2025 the same page said at least 14 days. Civil-protection associations, which are not government departments, give similar general advice.
“Jede/jeder sollte für einen Wasservorrat sowie einen Lebensmittelvorrat für alle Familienmitglieder und für mindestens 10 - 14 Tage vorsorgen.”
Everyone should make provision for a water supply and a food supply for all family members, for at least 10 to 14 days.
The same page now says at least 10 to 14 days. This is the page's own update date, with no announcement found. Archive copies show 14 days on 15 March 2025 and 10 to 14 days on 14 June 2025.
The interior ministry's radiation-protection guide advises a household stock of basic foods for two weeks. This applies to food and to that one hazard.
