Bayreuth tests warning systems: trial alarm on September 12th

The initiative is organized by the Federal Office for Population Protection and Disaster Aid and includes various warning methods to alert the citizens in an emergency. These include sirens that are distributed across the city area, as well as reports on radio and television. Modern technology also comes into play: smartphone users can be informed in real time using a cellbroadcast or installed warning apps such as Katwarn and Nina.

Details on the trial alarm

In Bayreuth, the sirens are activated at specific locations, including the new town hall, the Meranierring and the fire service equipment house Laineck. The city administration has clearly emphasized that there is no danger to the population during the trial alarm and that no actions are required. It is simply a test run to ensure that the warning systems work properly.

It is important that citizens are informed about the warning day to avoid unnecessary fears. The city administration advises the citizens, especially relatives and neighbors who are not familiar with this test. In this way it can be ensured that the alarm is not perceived as an actual danger.

The implementation of the trial alarm is of great importance, since it contributes to strengthening the trust of the population in the warning systems and recognizing any technical difficulties at an early stage. At a time when disaster protection and preventive measures are becoming increasingly important, this warning day forms an essential component of the security concept.

The city of Bayreuth actively participates in this Germany -wide initiative to ensure a high willingness to be possible for possible crisis situations. The regular tests of these systems are crucial to ensure that in an emergency, each one is able to react quickly and effectively.
