Between 12:00 and 12:45 p.m., after the signal “siren rehearsal”, the three civil defense signals “warning”, “alarm” and “all-clear” will be carried out.
The annual rehearsal serves on the one hand to check the technical equipment.
At the same time, it is intended to familiarize the population with the signals that can be emitted by around 8,200 fire department sirens.
Civil defense alarm: these are the signals in case of emergency
The meaning of the signals:
“siren rehearsal” (15 seconds), “warning” (three minutes of constant continuous tone) – approaching danger! Switch on radio, TV set or Internet, observe behavioral measures
“Alarm” (one minute rising and falling wailing tone) – danger! Go to protected areas or rooms, follow the instructions given on the radio, TV or Internet.
“All-clear” (one minute continuous tone) – end of danger! Observe further instructions via radio, television or Internet.
