On Thursday, September 12, the nationwide warning day was once again held in Salzgitter, where various warning devices were tested on a trial basis.

The integrated control center of the Salzgitter professional fire department triggered the warning and all-clear siren signals at 11.00 am and 11.45 am respectively.

58 stationary and two mobile sirens were tested. 57 stationary sirens worked, one did not go off due to technical problems. The specialist company responsible has already been commissioned to rectify the problem.

The mobile sirens, which also have announcement facilities, were used to inform the public about the warning day between the warning and the all-clear.

The Salzgitter fire department was supported by units from the DRK and the DLRG Salzgitter. These units are also involved in civil protection.

The warnings by Cell Broadcast and the warning apps are issued via the federal reporting channels and are not the responsibility of the city of Salzgitter.

As in the previous year, Salzgitter fire department personnel were deployed throughout the city to check individual siren locations.

Overall, Fire Department Head and First City Councillor Eric Neiseke was very satisfied with the results of the warning day. He expressly emphasized the importance of the various warning options. Neiseke also sees the continuous review and improvement of the city's warning options as an important building block for civil protection.
