The German Federal Post Office was as carriers of the telecommunications authority in the State civil protection integrated system in the Federal Republic. For this purpose, the Bundespost maintained special vehicles that u. a. were used for fire fighting. In addition, postal workers were trained in disaster control. The so-called "self-protection" of the Deutsche Bundespost is still active today at the successor companies (Deutsche Post and Deutsche Telekom). The organization of the disaster control was primarily based on strategically important facilities such as technical radio systems and data centers .

The Deutsche Bundespost (DBP) had its own vehicles for this task.

Today's meaning

After the privatization of the Deutsche Bundespost and the opening of the markets for private companies, the company's importance for supplying citizens with postal and telecommunications services in times of crisis has also decreased. In addition to other postal and telecommunications service providers , other communication channels such as e-mail, mobile communications or the Internet are also available today. Nonetheless, in 1994 the law for securing the postal system and telecommunications (PTSG ) created the legal framework for securing telecommunications and postal services for the successor companies and new providers .
