Hi. It's been a year since I uploaded this video, and I've loved having curated a discussion about the correct information surrounding Emergency Alert Systems. Naturally some of my verdicts are wrong as well that I'll need to correct in the future, but doing this has given me a lot more information. Thank you all for the feedback Can't guarantee when the next video will come, but it'll come eventually...

An example of what got corrected was Singapore. The one that was fake was actually one of the three signals (maybe the alarm signal) and the real one was the important message signal, which is one of the three signals of singapore's eas alarm.

Brazil unfortunately doesn't have a national EAS-like system, sirens like that one are local systems for most dams (and the CNAAA/Angra nuclear reactors if i am not mistaken), our "national alert system" is Plantão Globo, just a TV program on the main private TV channel with live people that usually warns after tragedies already struck, both inside or outside the country (9/11 and Chernobyl appeared in this program) There are rumors that a state-controlled TV channel (TV Brasil) did made a test for a EAS-similar system but nothing about proper machines to receive signals like in USA and other countries, and for mobile phones the closest we have is the Civil Defense/Defesa Civil's opt-in SMS alerts for weather

I put this in my "Watch Later" and forgot about it. It suddenly came on my television and when I heard the American EAS tone, I got confused. However, I quickly realized that it was just a video and not a real alert so I settled down. My cat, however, did not. He had very visceral reactions to almost every alert used, ranging from vaguely curious to offended to clear disgust/annoyance. It was hilarious to watch and I wanted to thank you for putting this video together and inadvertantly providing me with this entertainment.

I am a representative from Singapore, and I am here to say that the alarm you called “fake” is actually only sounded when we are needed to move to a shelter. The “real” one you showed is sounded when an important message is needed to be broadcasted. So, in reality, both alarms are real. I think the reason for believing that it is fake is because it is rarely ever used, as Singapore doesn’t get any missile threats or whatever Also Singaporean’s English is very bad, especially mine Edit : Hello all, l’m returning to this comment after like 10 months because of the overwhelmingly positive feedback!

the israel gulf war EAS is easily the most eerie for me. the silence at first followed by the terrifying wail is so indescribably unsettling and off putting, further followed by the static noises and then the more positive and calming music all ties together to feel like some twisted analog horror clip. if this was used in a mandela catalog video, it would fit perfectly. china’s EAS, on the other hand, is also incredibly panic-inducing, but, in my opinion, the bone-chilling wailing of israel’s EAS followed by the oddly calm music is unmatched.

I've only heard it a few times for real outside of amber alerts and tests and yea its pretty scary

In Russia the EAS alarm is provided by (MES) Ministry of Emergency Situations which has local departments in every region. So the EAS alarms may differ between parts of the country. The one in the video is from Ulyanovsk Oblast and it's pretty chill. I was born in an industrial city with two factories in Vologda Oblast and the alarm I remember is quite different. I heard it once and it was a test warning about an ammonia leak on a fertiliser factory, it was way scarier then the one in the video and had way more of Chernobyl vibe to it. P. S.: In every school in Russia they have those "Safety 101 lessons" where they teach some basic things like how to stop a bleeding, rescue an unconscious person along with how to disassemble Kalashnikov rifle. In my city we also had to smell ammonia to memorise it and put on a full chemo suit.

Some of that is that, at least in the US (not sure about other countries) it is actually illegal to use the EAS alert tone frivolously. This includes using it in movies or TV shows. This apparently down to concerns about it becoming "background noise" so that people take it seriously when it actually happens. So entertainment companies have to find "soundalikes" that convey the EAS urgency without being the specific EAS two-tone attention sound.

The EAS alerts are supposed to be loud and somewhat startling. They’re mean to alert you no matter what you’re doing. They should scare you so bad you freeze, but there should be an initial hit of “PAY ATTENTION TO ME” before chilling out a bit.

The fake Italian one reminds me of some dance music beat or something, legit had me dancing listening to it. Also the one in Chile sounds like those alarms that go off when something is wrong in a plane, I was waiting for a voice to come on saying PULL UP!

To clarify, the real German one was a system test, the guy talking gave information about the test and said that there is no actual threat for the people. In Germany we usually use sirens to alert the public of natural disasters. Though the mentioned test in 2020 showed that the system is heavily malfunctioning and/or broken. This is because after the Cold War ended, Germany saw no need to maintain a dense warning system since the threat of war was gone. Edit 1: The real TV alert of Singapore has the same alarm sound as the fire alarm at my school.

The video cautions that Japan uses several attention signals. The glissando tone is only for early earthquake warnings. If the earthquake were to generate a tsunami, they sound a more urgent alert tone for that. According to Wikipedia, the tsunami alert tone will actually turn on some TVs and automatically tune them to the local NHK station.

In Germany you get alerted by Siren, phone, television, radio and social media, it is also being tested that the Control center for emergency services (not police, the one for Firefighters and ambulance) to speak directly through the Radio and cutting of the regular program, but I don't know if it was tested on the public yet

The Lithuania EAS alarm translate is actually "Information for residents of the Fire Protection and Rescue Department under the Ministry of Internal Affairs"

Germany actually uses mobile phone alerts, newly installed siren systems (they sound different everywhere depending on what sirens are used but usually it's a 3x long unmodulated wail and these sirens are otherwise used as fire alert systems for and by fire departments) and also phone apps for emergency alerts (also for weather, fire, flooding, forest fires etc.) called NINA and KATWARN.

Kinda sounds like a plane. I can only imagine what 2014 tests were like.

As a french I can say france doesn't have EAS alert. But we have a system called "France alert" on phones

Here some news from France : we have an existing emergency system which consists of alarms placed in cities (depending on how many sounds it emits we can know the source of danger). But since november 2023 we also have a system which trigger our phones and send us messages. (Fun fact : it has been used for the first time in real situation three days before planned global test) The last system we have is in case of child abduction : all television and radio podcast are stopped to show the message, traffic panels on the highway tell us ro listen the radio and messages are sometimes played in train stations.

As someone who’s seen the Canadian EAS alarm at night for a tornado warning, it is freaking terrifying.

11:26 As an brazilian, the context of the brazil alarm (i believe it was the only time this alarm has ever played) happened to warn people to evacuate, in 2017 in 'brumadinho' a dam broke and several people were buried alive, there is videos on youtube showing the moment it happened. Until today the city has not been rebuilt and people still suffer with the tragedy. very scary and sad. :(

That is terrifying and sad. No matter what would have played to warn people, it would be sickening to hear again after that, if the initial pandemonium while trying to figure out what was happening and what to do wasn't enough. As an American there is always a lot to learn from what can happen outside our borders, but we often see little about it because it doesnt concern us. I appreciate you leaving some context because I like seeing the different perspectives of people, especially outside the states!

The Brazilian one is about a dam rupture and is not a nationwide system, it's more common in flooding and landslide-prone areas like in Rio, São Paulo, near dams or floodplanes, and varies from place to place, some transmit voice messages, some only sirens, some a mix of both, some even have flashing warning lights. There's also the recent use of phone alerts and SMS alerts, but quite limited in scope.

As a Bulgarian, I can't help but feel dread when hearing that alarm since it has basically traumatized me from early childhood with it's tests
