Hannover's 112 Sirens to Test Emergency Warning System on Sept 11
Hannover's comprehensive siren warning network, consisting of 112 sirens, plays a crucial role in the city's emergency warning system. The network's independence from mobile networks and wake-up function make it a key component in the warning mix, as highlighted by Dr. Axel von der Ohe, the city's first mayor. More details about the network can be found on the website www.feuerwehr-hannover.de.
The city has invested in this network due to increased natural disasters and geopolitical changes. The system will be put to the speed test on the upcoming nationwide warning day on September 11, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. A test warning will be sent via the modular warning system of the federal government (MoWaS). The all-clear is scheduled for 11:45 a.m., signaled by a one-minute continuous tone from the sirens. Hannover employs a mix of warning means, including sirens, cell broadcasting, warning apps, and internet channels, to ensure widespread and effective communication during emergencies.
The head of the Hannover fire department, whose name was not specified, will transmit the test signal for the nationwide warning day. This annual action aims to test warning channels and inform the public about available warning options.
Hannover's siren warning network, with its 112 sirens, is a vital part of the city's emergency warning system. The upcoming nationwide warning day on September 11, 2023, will demonstrate the network's capabilities and reinforce the importance of diverse warning means in keeping the public informed and safe.
