Statewide Warning Day March 13

Be ready! Statewide Warning Day is March 13, 2025

Severe weather, fire or bomb disposal — to warn and protect the population, a couple of warning systems are in place. To ensure readiness, they’re going to be all tested on March 13, from 10–10:45 a.m.

The warning is triggered at around 10:00 a.m. via the Modular Warning System (MoWaS). Various warning tools are used, including cell broadcast and warning apps such as NINA or KATWARN. Depending on possibilities and availability, the municipalities support the state-wide warning day with loudspeaker announcements, sirens or mobile loudspeakers. The all-clear is given at around 10:45 a.m.

Warning apps are an easy way to stay on top of the situation in the event of any disaster. You could customize the warnings to your individual location and warning preferences. NINA and KATWARN are free warning apps available in English at all app stores. Download one on your mobile device and always be prepared!
