First national warning day in Rhineland-Palatinate: Ready for an emergency!

On February 28, 2025, Rhineland-Palatinate announces a first nationwide warning day, which will take place on March 13, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. According to mrn news "Sensitization of the population for warning reports". In addition, the new situation center for population protection is tested at the LFBK in Koblenz.

Warning day is used using the modular warning system (Mowas) and will include a variety of warning aids. These include Cell Broadcast and Warn apps such as Nina and Katwarn.

Modern electronic high -performance sirens are installed in the municipality of Mutterstadt, which are triggered for testing.

Details on the end of the warning day

The trial alarm in the mother city will initiate the crying of the sirens for a minute with an upset and decongestant howling tone. This serves as a test of the warning system, followed by an all -clear signal that will also be heard for a minute with a constant howling tone. "The population should find out more about dangers and protective measures about radio or internet," explains the city administration. The all -clear will take place at 10:45 a.m.

In addition to the preparations for the nationwide warning day in Rhineland-Palatinate, other federal states are reminiscent of the importance of such tests. For example, on March 11, 2021, a national warning day took place in North Rhine-Westphalia. This proves information from Presseportal , according to which various warning agents, including sirens and the Warn-App "Nina", were tested. Here, too, the goal is clearly outlined: the population should be sensitized to warnings and the functionality of the warning means is made better understandable.

importance of population protection

The warning day in Rhineland-Palatinate complements the nationwide warning day taking place annually in September and is part of a more comprehensive population protection system. This system is not only designed for the warning of the population, but also for protection against war -related dangers and disasters, as in the guidelines of the Bundesamts for population protection . The tasks in population protection are complex and combine the responsibilities of different administrative levels.

Through measures such as self -protection, warning of the population and disaster protection, a network is created that serves to ensure the security of the civilian population in various dangers. This particularly underlines the need for regular tests to keep the alarm and rescue systems at a high level of operational readiness.
