Nationwide Warning Day on September 11, 2025 - Firefighters from Greifswald and the German Red Cross share safety tips at the marketplace
The city of Greifswald is set to host an annual event aimed at familiarizing the population with civil protection warning systems on Thursday, the second of September. The Greifswald Fire Department and the German Red Cross will set up an information booth on the Greifswald market square from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
During the event, the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) will trigger a test warning via the Modular Warning System. This system is linked to numerous warning channels, including NINA, KATWARN warning apps, radio, television, and the Broadcell system targeting mobile devices.
The test will include voice announcements and sirens in the city, providing an opportunity to ensure future warning texts are understandable in terms of speaking speed and tone height. The voice announcements are expected to continue throughout the test, and the warning will be lifted for most warning devices around 11:45 AM.
At the information booth, the Greifswald Fire Department and the German Red Cross will answer questions about "warning the population" and present the "Civil Protection from the Box" project. This project will be showcased during the event, offering a unique opportunity for kindergarten groups and school classes to learn more about civil protection and disaster warning systems.
The event is open to the public, and kindergarten groups and school classes are invited to familiarize themselves with the topic. The city of Greifswald annually participates in testing warning possibilities in civil and disaster protection on the second Thursday in September, making this a valuable educational experience for all.
For those unable to attend the event, the Greifswald Fire Department will share important information on the topic through their social media channels. The Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) does not appear to have provided a specific website for information related to this event.
In conclusion, the annual joint action for testing warning possibilities in civil and disaster protection takes place on the second Thursday in September in Greifswald. The event serves as an opportunity for the public to learn more about warning systems, ask questions, and become more informed about civil protection measures.
