This approach allows mobile phone network providers to undergo comprehensive testing procedures in preparation for potential emergencies.
On Friday morning, text alerts were sent to mobile phone users in several municipalities including Differdange, Pétange, Bascharage, Sanem, Bourscheid, Tandel, Diekirch, Erpeldange, Ettelbruck, Schieren, Colmar-Berg, and Bettendorf.
The first text messages were sent at 9.30am. Only individuals whose mobile devices were connected to a base station within the aforementioned municipalities at the time of the alert received a message stating: “LU-ALERT / ALERTE TEST / NO ACTION REQUIRED / AUCUNE ACTION REQUISE / KEINE HANDLUNG ERFORDERLICH.”
