S!RENEN is Denmark’s mobile-based public warning system

S!RENEN is Denmark’s mobile-based public warning system. It means that you can now receive a warning directly on your mobile phone if you are located in an area where many people are exposed to acute danger.

S!RENEN works on most newer mobile phones. S!RENEN works across all mobile phone companies and subscriptions. You don’t need to download anything or sign up, but you do need to make sure your phone’s operating system is updated.

When you hear the sirens, you should

GO inside and
SEEK information on national broadcasters DR or TV 2.
Here you will receive the same information as provided via S!RENEN, and you should follow the instructions immediately:

STOP what you’re doing.
READ the message that you get from S!RENEN on your mobile phone.
REACT by following the instructions from S!RENEN.
S!RENEN will notify you directly on your mobile phone about how to act and where to get more information. You can also get information from DR and TV2.

If, for various reasons, you cannot receive the warning via S!RENEN if the sirens are activated, you must go indoors and get information from DR and TV2.
