This week, a regulation issued by the Minister of the Interior came into force, setting out how the EE-ALARM public warning system can be tested and used. From now on, the Estonian Rescue Services Agency will coordinate the development of the system, its testing and exercises, and will also inform the public about these activities.
Today, the Estonian Rescue Services Agency, together with its partners, tested the nationwide public warning system EE-ALARM. As part of the test, the siren network was activated in the afternoon, alerts were sent to the Eesti app and the “Ole valmis!” mobile application, and ticker messages were displayed on ERR channels.
Today, on December 10, the Estonian Rescue Services Agency will conduct public warning system EE-ALARM test. All public warning channels will be activated, including sirens.
On Tuesday, November 4 between 10:00 and 16:00, follow-up tests will be conducted near Suru Manor on the edge of the central training area in Kuusalu Parish, using a single siren to measure sound levels. There is no danger, and no action is required upon hearing the siren.
