The trial text message warning will be sent only to the population in the following municipalities:
It is important to note that only people whose mobile phones are connected to a mobile phone base station in the above-mentioned area at the time the alert is issued will receive the following SMS:
LU-ALERT / ALERTE TEST / NO ACTION REQUIRED / AUCUNE ACTION REQUISE / KEINE HANDLUNG ERFORDERLICH / INFOS: GD.LU/LU-ALERT
No personal data will be collected or stored by the State in the framework of the public alert system tests. Furthermore, and in order to ensure that the actual and trial alert messages are distinguished, it should be clarified that the passage “No action required / Keine Handlung erforderlich” will only be mentioned in the trial messages.
There may be a delay between the sending and receiving of trial messages, which is why not all citizens receive the test message at the same time. After all, it is known that no individual communication channel can achieve 100% coverage.
However, in order to achieve satisfactory coverage, it is recalled that the government has chosen to implement a multi-channel approach that will eventually reach as many people as possible, by combining the strengths of the different communication channels.
The aim of the tests is to ensure the functionality of the different alert channels, to identify possible points of improvement and, above all, to make citizens aware of the need to use the different alert channels. The long-term testing strategy, which will be carried out on a regular basis, aims to ensure the resilience of the population in the face of emergency or crisis situations that could have an impact on public safety.
In the interests of continuous improvement, recipients are invited to send any comments they may have to the government at: lu-alert@mi.etat.lu.
