Successful warning day in Jena

The third nationwide warning day was a success from the point of view of those responsible in Jena. "21 digital sirens sounded at 11 a.m. as planned," announced the Jena fire department.

The test alarm was triggered by the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) via the Modular Warning System (MoWaS). The service sends short messages in an anonymous procedure that uses the reception readiness of cell phones in the respective regional cell of the mobile network. The disaster warning apps buzzed on traditional cell phones and modern smartphones were notified via the cell broadcast system.

In addition to the alarm, announcements could be heard on all 21 sirens in Jena. In addition, there were also to be announcements from police vehicles in some outlying areas of the city. However, these announcements could not be made today due to a parallel police operation.

Information on numerous channels

Information about the warning day was provided on numerous channels in advance. Stadtwerke Jena drew attention to the warning day during the test alarm, for example, via notices on the display boards at the bus stops.

The people of Jena reacted calmly and calmly. Only one caller contacted the control center with a query. Nobody called the specially set up citizens' hotline.

The fire department team will now collect and evaluate further feedback on the warning day.
