Nationwide Warning Day 2024: Alarm in Bodenwöhr on September 12th

The annual warning day of the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief will be held in Germany on September 12, 2024. This important day serves to make the population aware of the alarm systems and to demonstrate how they work. At approximately 11:00 a.m., alerts are sent to all mobile devices within a cell to ensure citizens are informed.

In addition to the mobile warning messages, two digital alarm sirens are activated in Bodenwöhr. These sirens will emit a howl sound lasting approximately one minute to alert people in the area. The sirens are located at Neunburger Straße 6 and near Bahnhofstraße 16 in Blechhammer. It is important that citizens know that these sirens are part of the warning system and are not sounding for any other reason.

All-clear and safety

Around 45 minutes after the first warning, at 11:45 a.m., an all-clear is sent to all mobile devices and via the sirens. This all-clear signal is signaled by a continuous tone lasting one minute. The authorities emphasize that there is no danger to the population at this time. It is a test to ensure that the systems work properly and that citizens can be informed quickly in an emergency.

The city administration asks all citizens to inform about this important exercise, even those who may not be aware of the warning day. It is very important that everyone in the community knows what is happening so that they can respond properly in an emergency. Thank you for your support and help in disseminating this information.
