New warning system in Bernau: 10 sirens ensure security!

A lot is happening in Bernau: the city is upgrading its warning system vigorously. Ten new sirens have already been installed today, and a final trial alarm is imminent. On Friday, June 27th, at 12.30 p.m., this alarm will be heard over 12 seconds. "The new sirens have a different sound than the predecessor models," says Kersten Haas from Sonnenburg Elektronic AG, which has taken over the installation. The reason for the new purchases is obvious: due to the soundproof windows, the old sirens are no longer sufficient to effectively reach the population.

From now on, a trial alarm throughout Bernau will also be carried out every first Saturday of the month at 10 a.m. This is not only a new regulation, but also an important signal for the residents. The city plans to provide a total of 19 siren locations, since nine other sirens are to be installed in the near future. These measures serve to improve the comprehensive information of the population and provide additional warning funds. You can find out more about this at Barnim Aktuell.

Another point that currently employs Bernauer is the damage that a storm low caused on Monday. With wind speeds over 100 km/h, the Bernau fire brigade was already entrusted with 32 missions until the afternoon. Around 60 firefighters were on duty to remove falling branches and fallen trees. Fortunately, nobody was injured, even if two vehicles were hit by falling branches while driving. The clean -up work continues and the streets are released for traffic again.

The new sirens in Schöow, which have also been tested, show that the city is now increasingly investing in population and disaster protection. "We are doing everything we can to optimize our warning system," explains the city administration. A total of 19 modern sirens were also installed here to ensure the functionality of the warning system. Regular checks are planned so that all systems are safe and reliable. This is followed by the decision of the Bernau city council for the modernization of the warning system from 2021.

Information and security in Siegen

A look beyond the city limits shows that innovative solutions in the population security are also implemented in Siegen. There the fire brigade has a firm grip on the planning and conception of the warning and information of the population. With a siren warning system that consists of 50 sirens, the population in the urban area can be informed quickly and effectively. Sirens are checked for their functionality several times a year. Interested citizens also receive information about the warning app "Nina" and the social media of the fire brigade.

Whether by modernized siren systems or committed firefighters - security has a top priority. The population can therefore rely on the fact that it will be informed quickly in the event of danger.
