‘Remain calm and not panic’: Russia to test public emergency warning systems today

Russia will conduct a nationwide test of its emergency warning systems, including TV interruptions, loud sirens, and announcements, to raise awareness and assess readiness. This test will take place on October 4, which coincides with the 91st anniversary of Russia's civil defense system.
In line with other countries, the United States is also conducting large-scale tests of its public warning systems on the same date. These tests aim to ensure the effectiveness of systems during emergencies, particularly at the national level.
Alert system tests for crises and disasters have become a common practice in many countries, being executed twice annually from September 1.
