After I realized that I didn’t know how to buy bandaids in Germany, much less ask for a defibrillator or file for survivorship benefits, I struck out to gather information to populate my personal emergency management/disaster recovery/business continuation plan.

But wait, I still don’t know what to do in the event of fire! What do I say, and how do I say it?
OK. Thanks. Got it.
