Nationwide Alert Day - Unwavering Alarm sounding off on Thursday, 11th September 2025, at 11 a.m.
The second Thursday in September marks the annual National Warning Day, a joint action day of the federal government, states, and municipalities. This day serves as a reminder for individuals to be aware of and follow warnings from authorities in case of emergencies.
During National Warning Day, sirens will signal danger with a rising and falling tone, and all-clear with a one-minute steady tone. These sirens are an important wake-up warning tool, helping to alert people quickly and efficiently.
The Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) recommends that vulnerable population groups, such as the elderly, war refugees, or children, be especially prepared to avoid fear-inducing reactions to warning signals like sirens during the annual test warnings. Preparing these individuals in an age-appropriate manner can help ensure a better response in real emergencies.
It is also suggested to speak to potentially affected individuals before the National Warning Day to explain that it is a test warning and not a real threat. This preparation can help alleviate any unnecessary fears and confusion.
Supporting potentially affected people during the test warning is considered helpful by the BBK. This support can take many forms, from providing clear and concise information to offering emotional support.
The National Warning Day aims to test the technical warning infrastructure and inform the population about warnings and the various ways authorities send them. Detailed information about the National Warning Day can be found on the homepage of the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance.
For inquiries about National Warning Day, you can contact the Regensburg County Administration at Department S21, Phone: 0941 4009-297 or 0941 4009-312, Email: [email protected]. The BBK also advises finding out beforehand which warning methods your municipality plans to test on National Warning Day to prepare.
It is important to note that the National Warning Day is not intended to trigger fears, but to ensure the population is prepared for emergencies. Further information about the danger during the National Warning Day should be obtained through other channels. The BBK encourages individuals to stay informed and to take the necessary precautions to ensure their safety and the safety of those around them.
