To test the early warning system, alarm sirens will be activated across the country for three minutes on Wednesday, and notifications explaining the reason for their activation will be sent to people's smartphones, the State Fire and Rescue Service (GPRSS) informed the LETA agency.
During the test from 10:00 to 10:10 AM, a three-minute wailing signal will sound, meaning the siren will sound for five seconds, then stop, followed by another five-second sound signal and another pause.
On Wednesday at 3:30 PM, the State Fire and Rescue Service (GPRSS) and the information center of the Ministry of the Interior will hold a press conference on the results of the test and the introduction of the cellular broadcasting system in Latvia.
