No imminent peril exists.
On September 11, a siren test will take place in the Viersen district. The test is designed to assess the siren infrastructure and increase public awareness of different siren signals.
The test will begin at 11 AM with a one-minute rising and falling warbling tone, known as the "Warning to the Population" signal. This signal indicates that you should stay calm, close windows and doors, seek shelter, turn on the radio, and await further information.
Following this signal, there will be a five-minute pause. At approximately 11:06 AM, another five-minute pause will occur. After this pause, a one-minute steady tone will be heard, which is not the all-clear but indicates that a siren test is in progress.
At 11:12 AM, a one-minute steady tone will signal the end of the test, indicating the all-clear. This all-clear signal will be a one-minute steady tone, similar to the initial signal, and will be issued via the same means and end devices used for the warning.
In addition to the siren, the all-clear will be sent via multiple warning apps such as "Nina", "BIWAPP", and "KATWARN". It is important to note that during test alarms, no information is typically provided via broadcast stations.
The all-clear will be issued approximately 27 minutes after the "Warning to the Population" signal. The all-clear signal indicates that the siren test has ended.
The authority responsible for activating the sirens in Viersen has not been specified in the provided search results. Whether this information will be made public in the future is not clear.
It is important to remember that in an emergency, the "Warning to the Population" signal means to stay calm, close windows and doors, seek shelter, turn on the radio, and await further information. The all-clear signal indicates that the emergency has passed and it is safe to resume normal activities.
By participating in the siren test, you can help ensure that the siren infrastructure is working effectively and that you know what to do in the event of an emergency.
