Note: thie research I’ve done has been really insightfull to me. Not only was I surprised that many countries dont test their sirens regularlly, but some even scrapped them altogether. To me. as a Czech who listens to siren test every first Wednesday of every month, was almost shocking xd. PS: I know there are probably a lot of mistakes because not all countries had proper information listed so if you are from a country that I listed wrong, or you know it’s different there, please correct me!
This seems pointless. Especially now that smart phones are so prolific.
In Germany, there will be a nation wide warning test on 8 December.
We had one a few years ago and it turned out to be a catastrophe and we realised that our systems don’t work at all. Will be interesting to see whether they manged to improve now.
Excuse me, what the holy fuck is going on in Belgium?
Austria is wrong here. We test every Saturday at noon.
Can confirm, we had a siren blaring in Zagreb yesterday.
Everyday: Ukraine 🔥🔥🐶☕🔥🔥
In Poland we test them once in while, without any particular notice, when you hear them you are supposed to look it up online until you don’t care anymore. But we also use siren on multiple memorial days, so good luck identifying real danger here.
What are the sirens for?
Sirens were tested in Estonia a couple of days ago.
