I came across this list on another forum and it has direct relevance to the German requirements. The Swiss implemented this procedure in 2015 apparently, using a list carried over from their past requirements and they have long been known as a prepared society. I am surprised they ever allowed the preps to stop.
I stole this link from Winnie. Way to go girl!

There is another way to look at mandatory preps. They are required, which some would view as an intrusion. However, it is obvious that if preps are not mandatory people will not have them. The mandatory status eliminates the need to get a souse "on board", explaining to the in-laws how you are not a nut job, getting sideways glances from someone that accidentally opens the pantry door, worrying about the kids spilling the beans, or worrying about neighbors pounding on your door to be turned away during a crisis.
You are simply following the law.
Druid, I am not joining a militia, I am not interviewing for a militia, I am not vetting a militia and I am not having a list of militia equipment in my possession. Neither am I going to be seen in public with a militia commander or pay for his lunch.
I am not placing my welfare, survival, ability to cope, or react to a crisis into the hands of some PFC clerk typist that now thinks they are a General, with his wife as the Col. and his 14 year old kid as First Sgt.
I have had some sideways contact with some of these groups in a commercial function and have not seen a single one which could function under any form of pressure. You enter a group of this kind with the full knowledge that they will set you up, sell you out, and one out of ten members is an under cover federal agent.
It ain't going to happen.
