Background information:
There are 57 sirens located throughout the city that will be activated on this day. These are high-powered electronic sirens that, in addition to emitting warning signals, are also capable of broadcasting voice announcements. The nationwide warning day provides the City of Salzgitter’s civil protection agency with a good opportunity to test the functionality of all sirens simultaneously.
