The Fr-Alert device as well as the warning sirens will be activated.
On Wednesday November 27, 2024, in the afternoon (between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.), the Lot prefecture is organizing a civil security exercise in order to test the special intervention plan (PPI) for the Séveso SNCF EIV Quercy- site. Corrèze from Biars-sur-Cère.
In this context, the Fr-Alert system as well as the warning sirens of Biars-sur-Cère, Bretenoux and Girac will be activated.
> How Fr-Alert works:
The Fr-Alert system is an alert and information tool which makes it possible to warn, in real time, anyone with a mobile phone of the danger existing nearby and to inform them of the behaviors to adopt to protect themselves.
The principle: if you are in one of the areas affected by imminent danger, you will be able to receive a notification accompanied by a specific sound signal, even if your mobile phone is in silent mode.
Important: As the Fr-Alert message is transmitted via mobile phone relay antennas, the perimeter of the alerted zone is greater than the perimeter of the danger zone. Consequently, during this exercise, people in the neighboring municipalities of Biars-sur-Cère, Bretenoux and Girac, in particular Gagnac-sur-Cère, Glanes, Cornac, Saint-Michel-Loubéjou, Prudhomat, Tauriac and Puybrun, including those in the Corrèze department (Liourdres and Astaillac), are also likely to receive the exercise alert message.
Note: As part of this exercise, no action should be taken by the population.
The exercise alert message will appear on mobile phones. He will make it clear that this is an exercise and that no action is expected from people. The message will contain a link to a questionnaire with the aim of always improving the system.
