As announced at the beginning of June, the zonal SMS alert tests will no longer be announced in advance, enabling mobile network operators to put themselves in a real-life situation when faced with an event that triggers an imminent and spontaneous alert from the population.
Consequently, the unannounced test of the zonal SMS alert took place on Tuesday, June 27, 2023, in the communes of Beaufort, Bech, Berdorf, Betzdorf, Consdorf, Echternach, Fischbach, Heffingen, Junglinster, Larochette, Nommern, Reisdorf, Rosport-Mompach, Vallée de l’Ernz and Waldbillig.
It is important to note that only those people whose cell phones were connected to a cell phone base station in the above-mentioned area at the time the alert was issued received the following SMS: “LU-ALERT / ALERT TEST / NO ACTION REQUIRED / AUCUNE ACTION REQUIRED / KEINE HANDLUNG ERFORDERLICH / INFOS: GD.LU/LU-ALERT”.
