In Switzerland they test the siren every year.
In France, it's the first Wednesday of every month. We were holidaying in France just after Putin's invasion. It was somewhat alarming...Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Once a familiar sound whilst being tested everywhere from villages to the largest cities, the UK’s air-raid siren network was eventually decommissioned in 1993 at the end of the Cold War.
It has taken almost three decades to develop its replacement. ‘Emergency Alerts’ is due for launch early this year and will deliver “an urgent and distinctive siren-like sound” to all mobile phones in the vicinity of a phone mast if there’s a danger to life nearby.
The alarm will work on any phone, with no requirement for users to register their number, and be accompanied by on-screen advice about how to stay safe.

Was in a shop at 2.45pm and they started announcing that people's mobile phones would go off at 3.
Checked mine at 3.02pm and it hadn't. Then noticed I was connected to 2G.
Went outside at 3.06pm and received the alert.
I know others who got theirs a couple of hours later due to the same issue."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
