Test of the 'LU-Alert' public warning and information system
On Monday, 3 February 2025, the government will continue to implement its strategy for testing the 'LU-Alert' warning and information system for the population by carrying out a monthly test of the siren network and a zone-based SMS test on the territory of the municipalities of Leudelange, Reckange-sur-Mess, Mondercange, Schifflange and Esch-sur-Alzette. In accordance with the tests carried out previously by other authorities, the Luxembourgish Police will send a test message by SMS this time. This test message, which contains a police warning, will be sent out in parallel on the 'LU-Alert' mobile application and on the website www.lu-alert.lu.
As this is a test alert, the public will not need to react or adopt any particular behaviour.
Please note that the 'LU-Alert' system does not work on a registration basis. This means that all mobile devices connected to a Luxembourg mobile network antenna at the time the SMS test message is triggered are targeted and will receive it.
Additional information and frequently asked questions are also available on the www.lu-alert.lu website.
