Overview
- The government’s disruptive “Nederland valt uit” messaging ran across TV, radio, online platforms, public transport, shops and ATMs to draw attention to large-scale outage risks.
- Justice and Security minister Foort van Oosten presented an information booklet that will be mailed to about 8.5 million households from 25 November through 10 January 2026.
- Authorities advise households to be self-reliant for the first 72 hours by making a personal emergency plan, assembling a tailored kit and discussing arrangements with neighbours.
- Designated regional stations such as Rijnmond, Omroep Gelderland and RTV Utrecht will interrupt regular programming to broadcast verified instructions via FM and regional TV during crises.
- Municipalities and veiligheidsregio’s, including Tilburg and Amstelveen, are preparing local information and support points for longer outages as the multi-year campaign moves into local implementation.
