Everbridge and Vodafone Power National
Warning Day Across Germany
Everbridge Public Warning Cell Broadcast technology, in
partnership with leading Mobile Network Operator Vodafone, and
three out of four MNOs, provided the key technology components of
Germany’s nationwide rebroadcasting emergency alerting system.
The federal and state governments jointly prepare the nationwide
warning day, which takes place annually, every second Thursday in
September, in coordination with municipal representatives. The
Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK)
is responsible at the federal level.
At 11:00 a.m. CEST on September 14, a test warning in the form
of a message was sent to all warning multipliers (e.g. radio
stations and app servers) connected to the federal government’s
modular warning system (MoWaS), including the cell broadcasting
system by Everbridge.
“We are pleased to be part of this important milestone and
support Germany on the evolution of its national warning system,”
said Valerie Risk, Vice President, Public Safety International at
Everbridge. “Every nation can benefit from a modern platform that
reaches all citizens in times of crisis. Our Public Warning
solution enables government organizations to immediately connect
with every person in an affected area during a critical event
regardless of nationality, residency or mobile handset type.”
Vodafone issued the following statement, “The new Cell Broadcast
disaster warning system was subjected to a nationwide load test for
the first time since its introduction in February 2023 at the
nationwide warning day on September 14, 2023. From Vodafone’s
perspective, this was a complete success. At 10:59 a.m. – one
minute earlier than announced – all mobile phone stations active in
the Vodafone network reliably sent the BBK’s test warning to the
receiving devices – across all network technologies GSM, 4G and 5G.
The test warning was thus delivered in an area where more than 99
percent of Germany’s population live and work. The warning day on
September 14, 2023 showed that the new warning system works very
reliably even when broadcast nationwide via the Vodafone
network.”
The German public safety system enables all federal authorities
responsible for public warning alerts to reach people quickly
during national emergencies such as health crises, terror attacks,
industrial incidents, earthquakes, and flooding. Powered by
Everbridge’s industry-leading Public Warning technology, the German
cell broadcasting alerting system has been created to target mobile
phones of residents and visitors present in the area impacted by an
emergency.
Everbridge, in partnership with Vodafone and other MNOs,
implemented Cell Broadcast technology as a complementary warning
channel for the BBK in 2022.
Everbridge Public Warning leverages existing telecom
infrastructure, with no opt-in required, to reach everyone within a
geographic area to reduce disaster risk, support first responder
communications, and analyze disaster communication effectiveness
for subsequent mitigation activities. The platform is fully
compliant with data privacy regulations including GDPR and allows
public safety agencies to send an alert to any device within a few
seconds without sharing any personal details, such as names or
phone numbers.
