Yesterday’s siren test was successful.
More than 5,000 sirens were checked across the country and 99% of them worked.
The Alertswiss app sent 12 million messages. Each canton got its own – and then there was one national alert.
The government also made sure everyone knew the tests were happening and used TV ads for the first time. The ads were highly praised for their originality.
You can see them on our website.
Together with the siren test, the government also urges people to make sure their emergency supplies are up to date and well stocked.
