Nidderau: Siren sample alarm is missing today-what happened?

this morning, on October 5, a planned trial alarm of the analog fire brigade sirens should be carried out in Nidderau. However, this was not realized because the sirens remained silent. Citizens had reported more and reported the incident. The reason for the absence of the alarm is apparently due to the central control center of the Main-Kinzig-Kreis, which could not activate the siren due to a high operating volume.

An important change is Nidderau into the house, since the city is currently surrounded by analogous to digital sirens. This change is intended to enable significantly improved alarm by being more reliable and differentiated. Digital sirens usually offer a wider range of alarm tones and messages as their analog predecessors.

resources for warning

Despite today's failure of the sirens, the security and protection of citizens are still guaranteed during the conversion process. Citizens can rely on various alternatives to be warned. In addition to the still functioning analog sirens, warnapps are also available that enable quick notifications. In addition, alarm reports are reliably distributed by loudspeaker announcements from the fire brigade.

The changeover to digital sirens is part of a more comprehensive plan to make the warning system more efficient in Nidderau. The new technologies aim to achieve a higher number of citizens at the same time and to shorten the response time in emergencies. This is particularly important in crisis situations, according to the city administration.

It remains to be seen whether similar incidents will be repeated in the future or whether the new systems can ensure reliable alarm.
