SCDF’s Public Warning System siren to sound on Sept 15

On September 15, Singapore's Civil Defence Force (SCDF) will activate the islandwide Public Warning System, sounding a siren for one minute at 6:20 pm. This exercise, part of Total Defence Day preparations, aims to educate the public on responding to emergency alerts. The signal will also be sent via the SGSecure mobile app for 20 seconds, along with a text message, provided users have notifications enabled. Additionally, Singtel subscribers will receive an SG Alert on their phones. The system warns against air, land, sea, natural, and man-made threats. The annual test occurs on both February 15 and September 15, though there was a one-time change in 2026 when the siren was tested earlier on February 1.
