Nina is small. Nina is five years old and Nina can warn of dangers. NINA is the name of the warning app of the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief (BKK) – the emergency news and information app. Since 2015, the application sends warnings and recommendations for action in the event of fires, power outages, terrorist situations or dangerous industrial accidents.
On the warning day, Thursday September 10, everyone who has installed the app will receive the following message: “National warning day 2020 – test warning; State: Berlin state; in Germany today, warning day 2020 will have place with a national test alarm for all warning devices. no danger to the population; action recommendation: inform your neighbors. ”
According to a decision by the Conference of Interior Ministers, the warnings will be issued on the second Thursday of September each year starting in 2020. For the first time in 30 years. The warning message comes from the BBK uniformly and nationally on this day.
In the event of a real disaster, the Berlin police, fire brigade and inner administration can send warning messages. The Senate Interior Administration reports on who and when to raise the alarm depends on the focus of the dangerous situation.

Individual locations can be subscribed or, if desired, the current location in the app. Should I stay home or should I run outside? In addition to the reason, the warning message always contains specific recommendations for action.
Stay calm in Berlin. Instead, mobile phones will vibrate
When danger has been averted, Nina will be warned. In many cities the sirens will sound this Thursday. Stay calm in Berlin. Instead, mobile phones will vibrate and radio transmissions will be interrupted. There have been no civil defense sirens in Berlin since the 1990s. The reason: Berlin is too densely populated. According to the Senate Interior Administration, not enough warnings about the dangers can be given. You can also hear a Kreuzberg siren in Schöneberg. But the situation there could be completely different. With sirens, warnings, clear signals and, in some cases, the causes of danger could be communicated, but without recommendations for action or more precise information.
