The Police announced that the civil defense sirens will be tested on Wednesday, the 1st of October, as part of the “Parmenion 2014” exercise. According to the Police announcement, the civil defense sirens all over the country will be tested at 11 am in the morning for sixty seconds.
The sirens will simulate an alarm for an air raid, with an intermittent sound of varying intensity. The test will formally end at 11:05am, with a continuous sound of steady intensity for sixty seconds.
The activation of the civil defense sirens is purely to ensure functionality and should not cause any concern, according to the Police announcement.
