Dutch Sirens Back for Air Raid Alerts

The Dutch government is reversing course and reviving air-raid sirens after just weeks of planning to shut them down for good—because in an age of uncertain threats, a physical siren network is now seen as vital backup to digital alerts that could fail during a power outage. While the old system, last updated in 1998, will go silent on January 1, 2028, a brand-new, tech-enhanced network is being built with a fresh alert sound, funded by defense and justice ministries, to ensure citizens are warned instantly in case of air raids or rocket attacks.
