Sample alarm in Bremen: Siren howls for more security!
In Bremen, the sirens ring every month at lunchtime on the first Saturday. On October 4, 2025 the time had come again and the 18 sirens in the urban area had their big appearance. The trial alarm, which was started at 12 p.m., serves to warn the population of possible dangers. These regular tests are an essential part of disaster protection and should ensure that the systems work smoothly in an emergency. This reports Buten and binne.
A particularly important date is also due in the near future. On September 11, 2025, sirens will cry throughout Germany, because then the nationwide warning day takes place. At 11 a.m. 43 permanently installed sirens will be active to test the emergency warning systems and to test the interaction of all warning methods. In addition to the sirens, the program of the broadcasting facilities is also interrupted and warning messages end up on the citizens' smartphones. In Bremerhaven, the church bells also ring on this day to sensitize the population. At 11:45 a.m. the all -clear how T-online reported.
New technologies in use
There will also be a premiere on this day in the form of a drone insert. This drone of disaster protection is used to quickly recording danger sites and can even transmit warnings to the population. In this way, the efficiency of the warning is further increased. However, the exact location of the drone remained secret, which increases the tension in the new technologies.
The need to modernize and promote the siren systems is not only evident in the tests. Events such as the flood disaster in 2021 and the nationwide warning day in 2020 made it clear that the siren infrastructure in Germany still has a need for expansion. Many devices no longer meet the current standards, which the Federal Authority addresses for population protection and disaster assistance (BBK) in a new siren funding program. How BBK Reports, a total of 14.5 million euros are available for the years 2023 and 2024 to bring the technology to the shape and to meet new requirements.
Outlook
Bremen is making a good example. The regular test alarms and participation in the nationwide warning day are important steps to strengthen the awareness of dangers and the effectiveness of the warning systems in the population. In particular, the commitment of the authorities to improve the siren infrastructure shows that security is very important. The population can therefore rely on the fact that everything works well in an emergency - and that begins with the tests and the playful seriousness of the trial alarm. So Bremen remains prepared for everything that may come.
