DAB+ on nationwide warning day: digital radio improves civil protection
Germany will hold a nationwide warning day on 8 December 2022. The aim is to alert the population to warnings in crisis situations. On the federal government's joint action day with the federal states and municipalities, the warning methods of the "Modular Warning System" (MoWaS) are to be used at 11am. These include public and private radio stations, and also SMS and apps. DAB+ has been a successful part of the MoWaS since 2020. DAB+ transmitters have a high level of operational reliability. Due to their mostly higher transmitter locations, they had proven to be more robust than mobile radio networks, for example during the floods in North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and near Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
