Warning messages have sounded on cellphones and alarms have blared across Germany as part of a nationwide test of the emergency alert system, but the sirens stayed quiet in Berlin
People pass a screen displaying a nation wide test alarm message at the main train station in Berlin, Germany, Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023. Warning messages were blaring on cell phones, public displays and deafening alarms sounded across Germany in a nationwide test alert. The screen reads:"Official Warning- Test Alarm Germany There is no need for action Report your observations at https://warntag-umfrage.de.
Initial reports seemed to indicate that many more sirens went off Thursday than in 2020. In the German capital, however, the cellphone alerts went through but the public alarms again failed to wail. The failed test in 2020 was considered a national embarrassment in a country that used to be known for its efficiency. In the last three years, most warning systems were repaired or modernized.
