As someone who is living smack in the center of the capital - I think this test was a pretty big fail. No sirens, no cell broadcast, people who had a hazard alerting app installed got the notification 30 minutes late. Lots of room for improvement, let's hope next years test will be more fruitful.

Actually, there are no sirens in Berlin at all. They got all decomissioned in the 90s.

Some municipalities still habe sirens, either because past experiences with industry accidents (chemical plants) or to summon the (citizen) fire brigate. Seems Berlin has neither.
