Prede alarm in Dresden: Siren howls on July 9 for security!

On Wednesday, July 9, 2025, it will be loud again in Dresden: at 3 p.m. the sirens howl over the city for about twelve seconds. This trial alarm is an integral part of the regular reviews of the warning system, which can be decisive in an emergency. As reports dawo-dresden.de, the signal consists of a one-time swelling of the sound, followed by a holding and subsequent swell as well as a final gong.

Dresden has a state -of -the -art siren warning system that is equipped with 210 locations. According to the flood events in 2002, 2006 and 2013, this modern infrastructure was extensively modernized, as the city administration explains in a press release: Dresden.de. A special feature is that the sirens are ready for up to 48 hours in the event of power failures. You can not only spend signal tones, but also language announcements, which is particularly helpful in emergency situations.

regular tests and nationwide participation

The regular trial alarms take place four times a year on the second Wednesday of each quarter. The next test date after July 9 will be October 8, 2025. The population does not have to become active in these cases, but it is helpful to inform neighbors and passers -by about the test alarm, as the city further recommends. This information is part of a broader strategy that also includes the participation of Dresden on the nationwide warning day on September 11, 2025.

With the aim of improving the siren infrastructure in Germany, a siren promotion program was launched. According to bbk.bund.de it depends on local decisions whether cities and municipalities hold sirens. The federal government provides funding to modernize existing systems and purchase new ones. For example, the program promotes self -sufficient sirens that work even without a public power supply. These developments are particularly important with regard to the future of warning infrastructure.

In the current time, when different emergency communication agents work with each other, the siren system remains a central warning channel. Combined with warning apps and radio broadcasts, the sirens can make a valuable contribution to the safety of the population. Dresden is well positioned to ensure the security of its citizens in everyday life and in an emergency.

Further information on the sirens and their functionality is provided via the social media channels of the city and the fire brigade Dresden, so that all citizens can always remain informed.
