Warning systems. June 8 test

Warning systems can be used in both peacetime and war. They are needed in order to warn the population of great danger. In peacetime, such notification may be important, inter alia, in the event of an accident in industrial plants, which resulted in the release of toxic or hazardous substances. In time of war, warning systems can be used in the event of threats of air attacks.

Civil Defense is responsible for the creation, maintenance and operation of warning facilities. The police are responsible for giving warnings in peacetime.

Civil defense is testing alarm sirens to see if they work.
