DISASTER EMERGENCY

Expats in Holland should be aware of the emergency protocol that goes into effect in the event of a national, regional or local catastrophe…

NL-Alert
Every first Monday of the month exactly at noon, the emergency sirens are tested throughout the Netherlands.

If you hear the siren activated at any other time, it means there is a life-threatening emergency occurring in your vicinity. This could be a major fire, terrorist attack, hazardous explosion, severe flooding, windstorm, etc.

The following steps should immediately be taken:

  • Get indoors
  • Close windows and doors
  • Turn on the radio or TV
  • Tune in to the regional broadcaster
  • If you are traveling in a car, drive to the nearest building or store and go indoors.
  • If you are traveling in a car on a freeway and cannot get off, move to the shoulder and turn on the radio. If you have a smartphone and reception, visit your local municipality website, social media page or crisis.nl
