New siren in Canow: Safety is proceeding in disaster protection!

In the picturesque community of Canow, a new siren will soon enrich the acoustic landscape. The decision was unanimously supported by the municipal representatives in Wustrow and aims to improve disaster protection in the region. As the Nordkurier , the siren is installed on a mast in the center of the village and operated with Akkus. This step is no coincidence, because Canow is in a forest fire risk area, which makes the expansion of preventive measures even more needed.

The financing of the new siren is borne by both the municipality and the state. A total of 28,250 euros flow into the project, including 11,250 euros as a funding for the Siren funding program of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and 17,000 euros as a share of the municipality. This funding program, which was launched in 2021, supports municipal efforts to modernize and acquire new sirens across Germany, and provides around 90 million euros, such as the Federal Office "> for population protection and disaster assistance communicated.

siren as important warning aids

The new siren in Canow is to be used in emergencies such as Eurofighter crashes, extreme weather conditions or forest fires. Connected to the modular warning system (Mowas), the siren has the potential to become part of an effective warning mix that also includes warning apps and radio transmitters. One aspect that is not to be neglected: these developments are not only modern, but also urgently needed to inform the citizens in crisis cases quickly and comprehensively.

In addition, the security situation in Europe has led to increased awareness of disaster protection measures through various geopolitical conflicts, such as the Ukraine conflict. On n-tv , the disaster protector Ralph Tiesler emphasized the need to raise the population and 72 hours if 72 hours without making an external help. These findings are of central importance in the planning and implementation of siren projects and underline the urgency of measures in population protection.

Overall, the entry into the expansion of the siren network in Canow shows that the municipality is not only predicted, but also comprehensively informed about the possibilities and necessities of effective warning systems. This example could serve as a model for other communities in the region that also want to invest in population protection. The cooperation between the country and municipalities in this regard could be the key to a safer future.
