Public warning test

On Wednesday, June 10, a nationwide test of the EE‑ALARM public warning system will take place. Everyone can use this day – and the test itself – to improve their crisis preparedness by taking just three minutes to think through, with family members or at work, how to prepare for unexpected crisis situations such as prolonged power, water or communications outages, or to practise taking shelter where they are.
The public warning test will follow the now familiar format. In the morning, a reminder SMS will be sent about the test taking place between 15:00 and 15:10, during which sirens will be activated in larger settlements, alerts will be sent via the Eesti app and the “Ole valmis!” mobile application, and ticker alerts will be displayed on ERR channels.
