Nationwide Warning Day 2024: Sirens and warning apps tested

A nationwide warning day will take place in Germany on September 12, 2024, starting at 11 a.m. This initiative is organized by the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior, Sport and Integration (StMI) and aims to inform the population about the importance of warning signals. Not only the traditional sirens of the municipalities and district administration authorities are used, but also modern warning devices such as warning apps.

The warning day is an important opportunity to test the functionality of the existing warning systems. This test alarm makes citizens aware of the importance of the siren signals. It is crucial that people know how to respond in the event of an emergency. The day of action is carried out in collaboration with the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) as well as the interior ministries of the federal states and municipalities.

What does the population expect?

Citizens can expect a signal to sound at 11 a.m. to check the functionality of the sirens and other warning systems. This is not just a test, but also an important reminder of the importance of paying attention to warning signs. The warning apps, which are also being tested, offer a modern way to receive information quickly and directly.
