Pocket Siren Tested During the National Emergency Alert Drill – First Step Complete!
On May 14, the Pocket Siren system participated in the nationwide emergency alert test. The goal was to evaluate how the system performs in a real-world-like scenario. At the time of testing, only one transmitter was installed – at the Tallinn TV Tower – which meant coverage was limited.
Despite the restricted range, we were able to gather valuable feedback on how the system performed, and the initial results were promising. This marked an important first step toward a full-scale solution that will eventually cover all of Estonia.
If you received the alert on your phone during the May 14 test, we invite you to share your experience on the Pocket Siren website: Feedback – Pocket siren. Every response helps us improve the system and make it more reliable.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused during the test, and we thank everyone who contributed to making it a success!
