Drones as a tool for hybrid warfare: Germany must improve defenses

Nationwide warning day: Warning systems will be tested on Thursday

On Thursday morning, disaster warning systems will be tested across Germany starting at 11 a.m. Federal, state and local authorities trigger a test alarm using official warning apps such as Nina and Katwarn as well as the Cell Broadcast system. The all-clear was given at around 11:45 a.m. The warning day serves to raise awareness among the population and to review communication processes during major disaster events. Citizens can then share their experiences in a BBK online survey until September 17th.
