NINA Warn-App

NINA Warn-App is an application that allows you to receive warning messages via the Modular Alert System (MoWaS), weather warnings from the DWD (Deutscher Wetterdienst) and information on all weather-related emergencies all via one application. Citizens from all over Germany can use the application to receive information on the current weather situation via push notifications.

How does the application work?

NINA Warn-App is an application developed by the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief (BBK). It is a warning tool for Germans to accompany them in emergency situations. With NINA, you can receive alerts from the civil defence services for various dangerous situations such as the spread of hazardous substances or a major fire; possibly also for your current location. NINA informs its users of both severe weather reports from the meteorological service and water levels from the water and shipping authorities. Information and updates from the German Meteorological Service and flood information from the competent authorities of the federal states are also integrated into the NINA Warn-App application.

On the application, users can select the locations and places from which they wish to receive weather warnings. These are displayed in the "My Places" overview. In the settings menu, you can also specify the warning level at which you should be notified by push notification. Optionally, you can also receive warning messages for your current location. NINA is available as a free download for Android and iOS devices. Users of Windows or other smartphones can use it very easily.
