This Thursday, March 9th, at 11 a.m., the functionality of the sirens will be tested throughout Bavaria with a test alarm. A howling tone lasting one minute is intended to prompt the population to switch on their radios and listen to announcements in the event of serious dangers to public safety.
The test alarm will be supplemented by warning apps such as “Nina” or “Katwarn” and warnings via cell broadcast via push messages. Interested parties can find further information on the Internet on the website of the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior at www.innenministerium.bayern.de.
