September 11th Declared as Federal Warning Day
On Thursday, September 11, 2025, Germany will conduct a nationwide Civil Defense Drill. This exercise, scheduled to take place across the country, aims to test various warning systems for emergency and disaster situations.
In the city of Bottrop, the drill will involve a series of tests. At 11:00 AM, the WarnApp NINA and Cell Broadcast (mobile warning) will be triggered centrally. Simultaneously, the sirens in the Bottrop city area will also be tested as part of the drill.
The siren test in Bottrop will follow a specific scheme: a one-minute all-clear tone at 11:00 AM, followed by a one-minute warning tone at 11:06 AM. This is to ensure that the systems are functioning correctly and can alert residents effectively in an actual emergency.
However, it's important to note that the sirens do not cover the entire Bottrop city area. In uncovered areas, residents will be warned by loudspeaker vehicles from the police and fire department in case of danger.
For more detailed information about the drill, residents can visit the BBK (Federal Agency for Technical Relief) website. The Bottrop Fire Department will also provide continuous updates about the drill through its social media channels on September 11.
For press inquiries, the Bottrop Fire Department Press Office can be reached at 02041 / 7803-115 or [email protected]. The name of the head of the Bottrop fire department during the Landesschutzübrings on September 11, 2025, is not explicitly stated in the available sources. The last known leader mentioned is Branddirektor Heinz-Jürgen Banner as of 1990, with no update for 2025.
After the one-minute warning tone at 11:06 AM, a one-minute all-clear tone will be played at 11:12 AM during the Civil Defense Drill in Bottrop. This drill is a crucial step in ensuring the readiness of Germany's emergency response systems and the safety of its citizens.
